Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live on great radio
stations across the country like WILM and w DOV and
Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the
voice in Middle Georgia.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
And we're going to need some blankets.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Dell.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Shorn Hunter Biden fled guilty in a federal tax trial
in Los Angeles before the trial could even begin.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Does he know of pardons on the way?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The father of the suspect in Wednesday's Georgia's school shooting
says he bought the gun as a gift for his son,
A son who was interviewed by the FBI year ago
for threatening violence at school.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Had a good move.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Colin Gray finds himself like his son, arrested with multiple charges,
including second degree murder. I think everybody's going to talk
about that offense and the speed of the Kansas City
Chiefs who could easily threepete. I think I was most
impressed with that defense, especially against a very good Baltimore
Ravens offense. The first step towards a three pet accomplished
(01:16):
twenty seven to twenty Kansas City over Baltimore's. The NFL
kicked off at season last night. Welcome to Friday, September sixth,
twenty twenty four on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That's Jeffrey Lyons at the control and our journey of
discovery today is we want to kind of get a
sense of where we stand heading into the debate. Ad
listening on News Talk ninety two to one, six hundred
WYC and Memphis had this to say.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
The betting odds showed Donald Trump in the lead with
his largest lead.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Let's go. I love that voice. I love that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
By the way, I live in middle Tennessee and that's
not a Tennessee accident, No, it's but yeah. So we
have the betting odds all leading towards Trump. Looking at
the poles, they're dead even and within the margin of era.
So Chris Walker is joining us with a big debate
next week. How do poles look heading in to the
debate post convention, and how does most importantly, that electoral
(02:16):
college map heading in Because I've got one scenario that
shows neither getting to two seventy and it may come
down to that second district in Nebraska. Could a crazy
year Chris Walker end even crazier?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, they could, Michael, I think it's entirely possible. I
think it's probably the least likely outcome just because it
just so many things have to happen for that to
be the case. But you know, usually several of these
states will kind of fall in line depending on how
the national trend and mood is. So because we are
(02:48):
talking about you know, roughly seventy thousand, you know, swing
voters in about you know, six states, so you know,
if one goes, they all tend to kind of go
the same way.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I wouldn't I wouldn't be.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Surprised if that's possible.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But I also because it's just such a tight race,
which again I was listening to Trump on Les Freedman's
podcast this week, and I think his point as an
opera one in terms of saying, I don't understand why
This is a close, right, but it is so well,
And there's two there's a big question how how big
is Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We often say there is no path for Kamala Harris
without Pennsylvania. There is a path for Donald Trump without Pennsylvania.
But Pennsylvania looks as much in play as Wisconsin, and
I do think for Donald Trump Georgia and North Carolina,
Wisconsin is probably the key. I think things look good
on the West coast in Nevada and Arizona, which is
why we're seeing Harris Wallace not playd that they're pounding Michigan, Wisconsin,
(03:45):
and Pennsylvania for Team Harris and the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I think that's a wise move.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I mean, that's the ballgame for them. If they win,
If they win the Blue Wall states, they win. So
that's that's the goal.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm you know, it is surprising that Joe Biden, who
is basically phoning it in for the last six months,
is being rolled out on the campaign trail.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
But you know, I think they got to.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
They have to pull every sunt they can for for
those Union voters in in those in those three states.
You know, I'll look at the I'll look at the map,
right now, I mean these are just all basically tied.
You have Pennsylvania, you know, the the average is about
point seven towards the towards Harris. Right now, Michigan's plus two.
(04:30):
George is about point five towards the Democrats. I think
that's gonna continue to tighten a little bit. But you know,
Georgia being where it is, it's it's just it's hard
to see what.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I'm what I find interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I mean, right now, Arizona's about plus one and a
half towards Republicans, which I think is an interesting trend
going the other.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Way for for for Trump and the Republicans. So I mean,
this is this one is just as tight as they
can get.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But Pennsylvania is the most likely to to be swing
a bowl from blue to red. So from from a
standpoint of end of Pennsylvania seems to be the key
to victory right now.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, this is the real clear politics kind of average
of everything. Trump leading in Arizona by one, Harris leading
by zero point one, so a dead tie, well within
the margin of error. In Georgia, Michigan one point one
leaning towards Harris. That's very slight. Nevada Harris up by
(05:26):
a half a point on the average. North Carolina, Trump's
lead is only zero point seven. I mean, you know,
it's so easy to focus on Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania over
and over again, but where do you put the Georgia
North Carolina?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Because I think that's huge, Well, that's huge, But I just,
you know, maybe this is like long history bias at
this point of just not believing the North Carolina is
going to swing blue, you know, I mean the last
time they did.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
That was was was was.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Eight and you know that that was kind of a
general rational election situation. I just I don't I don't
see that coming up this time. I just don't think
the energy is there. And Harris is not Obama as
much as the Democrats have tried to make her out
to be.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I mean, he's running an underwhelming campaign.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know that there their strategy of just kind of
waiting out the clock and hoping for you know, a
victory is yielding you know, fewer and fewer fruit now right.
I Mean, she had a huge bump coming in before
her convention, got no bounce out of her convention, and
since then, it's had a mediocre interview on CNN and
(06:37):
you know, a very mediocre vice presidential candidate that everyone
sees now that if she had picked Shapiro, she'd probably
be winning this thing that you can buy a little
bit of a bigger margin.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
But I mean, every when you look at these key
battleground states though, I mean they're almost all dead even.
I mean they're all like a point either way. If
there is a lead at all, and most of them
are under a point. I mean, you couldn't have a
more even matchup.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
This is how it looked before everybody understood that, you know,
Joe Biden had a cognitive issue. I still can't understand
how anybody could have been blind to that until the debate.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But okay, uh so, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So all Harris did mus get a little bit of
a bump coming out of the convention, but it was
never higher than where Joe was before his cognitive impairment
was revealed during the debate. And if anything, there's been
a slippe, we're really kind of right back, which points
to everything is writing on this debate, not necessarily for
Donald Trump, but for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Everything is writing on this debate.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
That's right, And you know, again she needs her security
lengths of Tim wats to do an interview, a softble
interview with Dana Bash. So you know, let's not forget
this is on ABC. You know, ABC might be one
of the most partisan news networks out there right now,
and that's saying something. I mean, they took Nate Silver's
five thirty eight model and turned it on his stent
(07:53):
to try to like seduce the numbers for Harris. So
you know, I would not be surprised. You know, Trump
is again debating three against one. Although, to be honest,
I think with Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did a
good job in the first debate with Biden.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well that was part of the game. Was that was
part of the setup to destroy Biden so they could
get to this. Yeah, yeah, I mean they were playing
their script. We're visiting with Chris Walker, Republican consultant analysts,
going over these numbers. If nothing else, I wanted firmly
in your head where we're at prior to the debate.
So when we look after the debate at the numbers,
we'll see who really won and lost the debate. Here's
the biggest intangible thirty six point five percent more people
(08:36):
think we're heading in the wrong direction than right direction.
So the majority of America still thinks we're heading in
the wrong direction. Does that apply to Joe Biden and
not Kamala Harris or does it apply to Kamala Harris
as well? And what role will that play and how
painful could Donald Trump make that for them in this debate,
because that could be a big area of opportunity.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I think paying.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, you know, again, the national narrative continues to be
a discussion about Trump. That's not a benefit to Trump,
you know, as much as these falls are tied. I
think Trump's point that he should be leading higher because
of all of these intangibles are correct, But I think
that it belies the point that the kind of the
overall national discussion to continue to be about the silly
(09:25):
things that we've been talking about for the last two weeks.
Whether it's Arlington or you know, Trump, you know, going
back and forth on abortion, you know issues, or marijuana
or other things.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
These are all conversations that.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Are not around the economy, around the jobs, around inflation,
around the Afghanistan withdrawal, around the failures of the Biden
Harris administration. I mean, the Republicans need to get laser
focused on talking about the failures and linking Harris to
Joe Biden. Right now, they're not doing that, and maybe part.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Of that's the media continuing to just do, you know,
running running for them, and they they truly are.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
In fact, I confronted a couple of Punchbowl News reporters
this week about it because they were fucking to this
group about Project twenty twenty five when everyone who's honest
knows that's it's our friends at the Herrine Foundation. So
you know, they're just being completely dishonest to a degree.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That's just that, that's breathtaking.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Actually prepared two years before Donald Trump decided to run.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, let's look at the map. If we're there's
some quick assumptions here.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think Florida will be read, and I agree with
you that North Carolina will be read. Assuming that h
that puts Donald Trump at two hundred and thirty five
needing thirty five and Connall Harrison two twenty five needing
forty five. What does that leave as toss ups? Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona,
Nevada start placing them, all right, So Nevada, which way
(10:53):
do you think that's added. I they're all too close
to call, but I.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Nevada and Arizona are both much more likely for Trump
this year than they have been in years past. I'm leaning,
I'm moaning towards the red column for them, but I
you know, again, it's this historical bias of Nevada in
Arizona kind of leaning more blue.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I just I do think that they're more red than
they are they have been in the past.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
You have a lot of Republicans who fled California that
are not voting that way.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
And I think that's that's manifesting Napoleon.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And do we agree that Colorado and New Mexico will
go blue?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, I just that's that's about four or five years
off before that turns back to purple.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right, So make them blue. Well, these are the
tough ones, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Ironically, and I've done a lot of work in Wisconsin.
As you know, Wisconsin has gotten a lot bluer, you know, than.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
The other two right now in part you know, the
Milwaukee and Madison are just so blue.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
That it's just the rest of the states, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So I made him, I made him both blue guess
where we're at. Trump two fifty two, Harris two fifty.
Now we get to Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, that's the election. It's the most swingable.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What about Georgia? Are are you confident that Georgia.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Will be read?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
No, I'm not. I'm really not. Then it's over watching
my friends in Georgia's gonna be close.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
But you know, let's give him read because it's just
it's a Republican state. You know, timp won by you know,
twelve points, So I mean it should be read.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right, So guess what I mean showing? I just
want to walk people logically how I got here? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So I did make Georgia red, and I did get
Kamala Harris, Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin and Colorado and
New Mexico. And guess what the numbers are Harris two
sixty nine, Trump to sixty eight, No, one to seventy.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And that's the Nebraska, the Nebraska congressional district.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So now you need the congressional one of the two
congressional disc you know, for all this talk, could it
be Nebraska sides the presidency?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, talk about a crazy year ending even crazier they'll
both be a two sixty nine heading into Nebraska's final.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Say, this is fascinating to get my peto bismo, Michael,
this is giving me well.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And by the way, and if you take Pennsylvania off
the board completely, because that's they're not going to even
be able to count it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's going to be Trump two sixty nine, Harris two fifty.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And then you'll have to wait a couple of days
for Pennsylvania to count all those mailing boats.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But even at that point, if you turn it blue.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's two sixty nine to two sixty nine waiting on
one district in Nebraska to decide at all.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But that's that's where we stand today. Let's keep all
this in mind, if for no other reason, as an
exercise after the debate and give it a week to
sort out. Looking at the polls and then looking at
the map, let's see how much the shape changes.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So far would I see big picture?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And now maybe oversimplifying it, we're kind of right where
we were with Joe before everybody came to the realization.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
He was cognitively impaired.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
After the debate, that's kind of where we're at so
no big gains for Trump. They gained some back from
their losses after the bad debate with Biden, but they're
not really any further. I mean everything points to this debate,
right and turn out and get out to vote.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
That's it, yep, which is why the Harris campaign is
only agreeing to one.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
The stakes couldn't be higher. I mean, it's just shows so.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Much sound that homoch Shmocrats don't trust their candidate, which
is which is crazy. I mean, of all of the things,
President Trump is a is a wild card. But Republicans have,
you know, to tide it to their credit, like we're
riding this thing and we're gonna we'll do podcast interviews
and whatever it takes to kind of to get people
to see the real Donald Trump outside of the media filter.
(14:55):
And here you have the Democrats hiding her from any
possible you know, kind of situation where people could get
to know her because they're afraid the more people get
to know her, the more they're go towards Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And well, yeah, because she's very unlikely. That's why they
couldn't get her elected in twenty twenty. Bottom line is
they hit Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Now they had
they had COVID, and they controlled technocracy and social media.
They don't control x anymore, and they're trying and attempting
to hide Kamala Harrison plain sight. I don't know that
that's going to give him a twenty twenty outcome, but
I do know that this debate there's a lot on line,
(15:28):
nothing on the line for Donald Trump, a lot on
the line for Kamala Harris. In fact, if I was
Donald Trump, I would extra play it safe, attack her
and her views and their leadership, do not personally attack her.
And he's to stop calling her an idiot or anything
like that, because there's nothing for him to gain. He
needs to sit there, you know, be presidential, provoke her
(15:50):
a little, and let her implode, and he'll win the election.
He gets over the aggressive, he puts her back in
the game. But I wanted to do this just as
a baseline, because this map is a coin toss, and
anybody tells you that they know who's gonna win this election,
they're blowing smoke up your dress.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It could go either way, which is what makes this
debate so important and understanding its impact after it's over
and hopefully today will go a long way to helping that.
Appreciate you getting up so early. I know that part
isn't fun.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Up brother, I'm at the gym. Let's let's go.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I want to join me.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Parolo run here.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh so you're gonna guilt me to boot right? Well,
you know I did two burphies today.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Jeff will tell you. I was riding the microphone and
it was loud.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
He did.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Chris Walker, thanks for joining us. We'll talk again on Monday.
This is your Morning show with Michael del TONO.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal. Jeffrey
Lyon has the controls. Aaron Real is standing by Hunter Biden,
pled guilty in his federal tax trial in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think he knows he's got a plea deal.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Why I get into the particulars of all that money
he earned and taxes he didn't pay.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It could embarrass the big guy, as he calls him.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
The father of the suspect in Wednesday's Georgia's school shooting
bought that gun that was used as a gift to
his son, who was investigated by the FBI year ago
for threatening a school shooting. And your idea is to
get him an automatic weapon. Father of the Year right,
he's had it to jail now arrested. Colin Gray arrested
the father with multiple charges, including second degree murder, and
(17:21):
the Chiefs did win last night twenty seven twenty as
the NFL season kicked off.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I never asked you that, Erin. Are you a big
NFL fan?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Know what?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I like college football more I think.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
About cottage footboard.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yes, I think it's awesome like it. It's really really fun.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
And I know what.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
There's kind of like more mistakes in a good way,
I guess, and that makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
In college mistakes make it fun.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That isn't no, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Like, I get the feeling if we talked.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
At great length about this, you'd get down to their outfits.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Because you know me. Well, that's why you feel that way.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Well, I say that you ride horses and you were
a hockey player. For crying out loud, she's a tough girl,
all right. So there are concerns again over North Korea,
this time infiltrating the IT departments at some of America's
most important companies and then sharing their secrets, and then
China's probably sharing the secrets they're getting from TikTok.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
None of this is good.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
None of this is good. None of this is good
at all. What we know is that essentially they've set
up these laptop firms, well, Americans have set up these
laptop firms. They're run by middleband here in the US.
They install these remote desktop software that allow these North
Koreans to log on to internal company servers from overseas,
creating the impression that they're here in the US. That
(18:36):
they are not, and they're really capitalizing on this post
COVID boom in remote work. They say hundreds, maybe thousands
of companies have unwittingly hired IT professionals from North Korea.
They believe that they've brought in close to seven million
for the North Korean government Pyongyang, pyeong Yang. But more
than just the seven million, they've been able to install
(18:59):
malware and get you company secrets and all these things.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
That's where the real issues lie.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Yeah, the salary is nice, and you give it to
the leader, but it doesn't really really serve their ends
in terms of their long term goals of stealing intellectual property.
It's incredible, actually, the Google Cloud Mandy and Cyber Threat Division.
One of the analysts there said that they were stunned,
just done by how prevalent this practice has been since
(19:25):
the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I love my company, I love my job. We do
a lot of training to protect our company from us
letting dumb things happen. And you know, I take those
very seriously, and I've learned a lot from them and
all the different And by the way, as soon as
you learn them, they're already trying their new tactics, so
you never really catch up. You can kind of stay
(19:47):
a little bit behind. But the notion that the companies
themselves that are doing all they can to protect this
information have actually unwillingly hired seven million North Koreans to
have access everything. I guess the question to Beggs is
are they looking for my social Security number, my address,
my phone number, everything in my identity or are they
(20:10):
looking for these company secrets.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
They're looking for company secrets for the most part. Yeah,
they like they need identity of Americans in order to
get the jobs in many cases, which they're stealing happily.
But that that is not really the end goal. It's
just like a functionality of the exercise of stealing of
getting to the end goal what they're doing. I think
that I think like the most interesting part is these
laptop farms that those that actually enable them and enable
(20:35):
anyone from overseas to appear as if they're.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
In the US.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Because you know, someone in Tennessee literally I'm not joking
that was in the addictment fires up a laptop, so
it gives them access to people overseas. There's also a
woman in Arizona and a man in Ukraine. They were
part of this network of laptop farms. Over three hundred
US companies unknowingly hired people from North Korea because of them.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Like that.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
It's not necessarily the companies as much as these like middlemen.
They know they're doing something kind of nefarious, like if
you want this like crazy ip from god knows where,
Like why would you want that? And I'm not saying
you're not entitled to it or like there can be
legitimate reasons why, but not always.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
As Joe Biden would say, and these job's backbone in
North three ecademy. All right, so the big question is
is this the iceberg itself or is this the tip
of the iceberg and only North Korea has been caught.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
I think it's the tip if I was, if I
was a betting woman, I would say that there's probably
so much more. The fact that the cybersecurity divisions at
Google are like shocked by this and say the scale
is just mind blo, mind boggling. Yeah, there's a lot
more to come.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And if you're a betting woman, you would have definitely
taken the Chief's minus the points at home last night, right, Abby, Yeah,
I mean you're no. Bruno Mars, great reporting as always, Aaron.
We'll talk again on Monday. Have a great weekend. And no,
I don't have any plans other than watching football.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Uh was there question before?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
All Right, if you're just waking up, these are the
top five stories of the day, and there's some biggies.
Starting with the father of the suspect and Wednesday's Georgia shooting.
He's been arrested and charged with murder, Chris Caragio reports and.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
Coordination with the District Attorney. With District Attorney Brad Smith,
the GBI has arrested Colin Gray, aged fifty four, in
connection to the shooting here at Appalachi High School.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
Gray was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two
counts of second degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty
to children. His fourteen year old son was charged with
four counts of felony murder and is set to appear
in court Friday morning, where he'll be charged as an adult.
He's accused of killing two students and two teachers at
Appalachi High School and Winder located about fifty miles northeast
of Atlanta. Nine others were injured. I'm Chris Karragio. We
(22:49):
talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We're all set to watch hunter Biden in trial in
Los Angeles for tax evasion. Just the conversation of how
he earned those millions China and all the embarrassing information
in this trial, more than even other trials that could
come out concerning the sitting president Joe Biden. What does
he walk in and do? He doesn't start trial, he
(23:12):
ends it by pleading guilty in Los Angeles. Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
After dane of surprises and legal wranglings, the president's son
planned guilty to all counts just as a jury was
about to be selected. The president's son is accused of
failing to pay more than a million dollars in federal
taxes between twenty sixteen and twenty nineteen. He will be
sentenced to some of the sixteenth and faces seventeen years
in prison and over a million dollars in fines. Legal
experts are speculating if the strategy could be part of
(23:37):
a future pardon or commutation, but President Biden seemed to
rule that out in June.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Yeah, he's also running for president, and
June he isn't any longer.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
The frequent flyer programs of top four US airlines all
being investigated for unfair practices.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Tammy Treheel has more.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
The Department of Transportation said Thursday that it was launching
a probe to make sure consumers do not fit deceptive
or anti competitive practices from the major carriers reuters as
Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge sent letters to American Delta,
Southwestern United Airlines ordering them to provide records and submit
reports about their rewards programs. I'm Tammy Trheo.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Jade Vance is calling for tighter school security harden the
target after the recent school shooting in Georgia.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
I don't like this.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I don't like to admit this.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
This is a fact of life.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
But if you're if you are a psycho and you
want to make headlines, you.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Realize that our schools are soft targets and we have
got a bolster security at our schools. Now a big
story you're going to hear about all day long.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The Associated Press, who feeds the narratives to all the
biased major networks, used a very misleading headline to target Jdvans.
He wasn't suggesting, Hey, school shootings are a part of life.
Nothing we can do. That isn't what he said. In fact,
just the opposite. You got to stop focusing on the guns.
Stop focusing. We got mental illness problems in America. There
(24:58):
are crazies and they plan to do crazy things. The
only thing we can do in the future is hardened
the target and protect our kids at the schools, kind
of the way we do every time they get on
the plane. Here's an interesting story. The so called Kansas
City Chiefs super fan linked to a series of bank
robberies will be in prison for close to twenty years.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Xavier Buddha dhar I think I said that right or
bad dudah.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Maybe it's bad, dudhar Well, whatever it is, he's going
to jail set in seventeen and a half years behind
bars Thursday morning in federal court in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
The prosecutors say.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
His trips to all the Chiefs games across the country
were all bankrolled by his nine armed robberies. The thirty
year old gained an online following under the nickname chiefs
Aholic and speaking of the Chiefs. Their first step towards
the three peat was last night, twenty seven to twenty
a win at home against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead.
Patrick mahomes twenty of twenty eight for two hundred and
(25:54):
ninety one yards, one touchdown, one interception. Don't be buying
into the Derek Henry trade a bust. Yes, Derek Henry
was held to forty four yards, but Lamar Jackson ran
for one hundred and twenty two and threw for nearly
three hundred. Very difficult to stop this one two punch
in a quarterback read situation. This was still a good
pickup for the Ravens, and the Ravens are still a
(26:15):
very good football team and they're likely to end up
back in that AFC Championship against the Chiefs again. But
how about the Chiefs defense. Oh that's what blew me
away last night. In baseball, cities of Major League interest
to our former engineer who wants me to constantly bring
up the Brewers, are we have a fan?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Fourteen games is their magic number nine fourteen games from
the twinter Division.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But of cities of your morning show interest. The Rangers
won three to one over the Angels, the Mariners six
to four over the A's. The Nats lost nine to
four to the Pirates, Dbacks lost three two to the Giants.
Rays lost four to three to the Twins. Cleveland and
the Cardinals were off birthdays today. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters
is eighty one, SNL's Jane Curtin is seventy seven, and
Bob's big Boy Governor Chris Christie sixty two years old.
(27:00):
He's got me by two years, really at about one
hundred pounds. Well, if it's your birthday, happy birthday. So
glad you were born, and thanks for waking up with
your morning show.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I just got this from the Home Office. Andrea writes,
Obviously they didn't want all the negative stuff to come
out and these last few weeks before the election. So yes,
he's probably definitely getting a pardon, all part of the
plan to get Kamala Harris into office. More manipulation. Well,
Hunter Biden pled guilty. There will be no trial in
(27:43):
Los Angeles. Will there be a pardon? Time will tell.
And the father of the suspect in Wednesday's Georgia's shooting
says he bought that gun as a gift to his son,
a son who was investigated a year ago for threatening
violence at school not good parenting. Colin Gray was arrested
and hit with multiple charges, including second degree murder. Rory
O'Neil is here with that story. We're learning more about
(28:05):
this family, and the more we learn, the more it's troubling.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
Yeah, yeah, really troubling allegations, including the mother as well,
who's got quite an extensive criminal record. But the fact
that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation acted so quickly, I
think to file these charges against the father is what's
pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Here.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
Four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of cruelty
to children. His son, the teenage suspect here is now
being held in the juvenile facility in Georgia facing four
felony counts of murder.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
One relative said that the teen suspect had been begging
for mental health help.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
Yeah, and again, as we start to peel back the
layers here, the stories and allegations just show how much
red flags were ignored, opportunities for intervention were missed. And
the fact that the police were called out to this
home last May to investigate allegations that the teenager was
making threats to schools online and that the dad took
(29:04):
no action to either restrict the gun availability in the
house but to actually give him one at Christmas time
is a real head scratch.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, and you and I are both pretty good about
not playing the narrative game. But there is a narrative
game at play, and one of the narrative games is
this is why we need legislation. This is why a
president shouldn't speak or whoever speaking for him at a
White House upon the news of a shooting. There's so
much you have to know before you should make a statement.
(29:34):
But the narrative early on was this is why we
need a sensible legislation and Republicans to work with Democrats,
in other words, focused on the gun. Now today you
got the Associated Press playing games with Vice presidential candidate
Jade Vance, who wasn't implying at all in a sense
that well, this is just a part of life. Now
you got to get used to it. No, that is
what he's saying, just the opposite. This is why we
(29:56):
got to get beyond just the simple argument of the guns.
We got to get to mental health, we got to
get to parenting, we got to get to some of
these cultural issues, but primarily we need to get to
hardening this target and protecting our kids in school because
crazy exists and we got to protect them from it.
But it is, it's so frustrating every time we have
one of these shootings. Look, every one of these shootings
are a different shooter. There's different particulars in different evidence,
(30:19):
and we all need to hold our opinions until we
know more.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Look how much more we know twenty four hours later?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
But you called this yesterday, well, oh no, I mean
you did in a sense that you know, I said,
my gosh, this one looks quickly like it points to
the father more than the gun, and the arrest.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Was done for the kicker off of the football game
last night.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
All right, So let's move on to the judge in
the RFK case. So right now, it's kind of split
fifty to fifty. Half of the swing states will have
RFK and the ballot half will not. Who does it
benefit if he's there or not there?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now? The fight is over North Carolina? Where does that stand? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (30:56):
The judge has given the Kennedy team until noon today
to convince her. I guess because she's already leaning to
let the ballots go out. But she said, all right,
we'll give you until noon today to convince me that
we should stop the ballots from going out. Now, these
are just the ballots that are going over, mostly for
military members serving overseas, that they'll be going out today.
(31:17):
There are still millions more of ballots in the state
of North Carolina that would go out for absentee voters
in the state. But these are meant for longer distances
away from home, and those are the ones going out
today that the Kennedy campaign is trying to stop.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Right, But those thereafter you will be removed, right, Yeah,
that's the way it looks now.
Speaker 11 (31:37):
But the question is what about this tranch about one
hundred and twenty five thousand, mostly military and overseas ballots.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And we could all speculate as to who the military
might be leaning towards, but at some point wouldn't this
come down to the letter of the law. And you
have this certain timeline in which to withdraw from a race,
Otherwise you could be on the ballot whether you're dead
or withdrew. So it should be black and white, not
really him making a case, right.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
And there's also the expense of it all and the process,
either the manual labor of putting that all together and
just the printing costs in and of itself. And you know,
for wire of taxpayers of North Carolina picking.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Up the tab here, you know, we did something fascinating
behind your back a half hour ago, and we went
through the electoral college map because I know that you're
good on all this stuff, and I stumbled on this
and I thought, well, if nothing else, I want to
get it all on record before the debate, because we
all know where the polls in the swing states stood.
When a lot of people still weren't paying attention but
when Joe Biden was in the race, and then after
(32:41):
he left the race, and then after the conventions, and
I wanted to get this baseline before the debate. That's
how much I think is on the line for Kamala
Harrison particular with this debate. And if you give New
Mexico and Colorado to Kamala, and you give Arizona and
Nevada to Trump, which I think is reasonable. If you
give Georgia to Trump, and that may not be a
sure thing, but doing that, uh in North Carolina, then
(33:04):
you give Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin all ta Kamala Harris, guess
where you're at?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Tied it two sixteen nineteen. And then we gotta do
you hate Nebraska? Well, it's the Nebraska you hate when
I praise you. But do you realize how much we're alike?
I think that's why you hate me.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yes, Could it be all this focus on Michigan, Pennsylvania
and they're important, you don't get to this, But could
it be a district in Nebraska is going to decide
the next president.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Well, that's the way it looks heading into the debate.
That's how much is on the line, all right now?
Speaker 11 (33:37):
But this is where I feel like we sound like
those desperate NFL people talking about NFL stuff in June,
you know, just just to make up stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Just always gotta make you, always gotta blindside me, don't you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Roy will be back next hour to insult me for
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Hill. Join up.
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live on great radio
stations across the country like WILM and w DOV and
Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the
voice in Middle Georgia.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
And we're going to need some blankets.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Dell.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Shorn Hunter Biden fled guilty in a federal tax trial
in Los Angeles before the trial could even begin.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Does he know of pardons on the way?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The father of the suspect in Wednesday's Georgia's school shooting
says he bought the gun as a gift for his son,
A son who was interviewed by the FBI year ago
for threatening violence at school.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Had a good move.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Colin Gray finds himself like his son, arrested with multiple charges,
including second degree murder. I think everybody's going to talk
about that offense and the speed of the Kansas City
Chiefs who could easily threepete. I think I was most
impressed with that defense, especially against a very good Baltimore
Ravens offense. The first step towards a three pet accomplished
(01:16):
twenty seven to twenty Kansas City over Baltimore's. The NFL
kicked off at season last night. Welcome to Friday, September sixth,
twenty twenty four on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That's Jeffrey Lyons at the control and our journey of
discovery today is we want to kind of get a
sense of where we stand heading into the debate. Ad
listening on News Talk ninety two to one, six hundred
WYC and Memphis had this to say.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
The betting odds showed Donald Trump in the lead with
his largest lead.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Let's go. I love that voice. I love that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
By the way, I live in middle Tennessee and that's
not a Tennessee accident, No, it's but yeah. So we
have the betting odds all leading towards Trump. Looking at
the poles, they're dead even and within the margin of era.
So Chris Walker is joining us with a big debate
next week. How do poles look heading in to the
debate post convention, and how does most importantly, that electoral
(02:16):
college map heading in Because I've got one scenario that
shows neither getting to two seventy and it may come
down to that second district in Nebraska. Could a crazy
year Chris Walker end even crazier?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, they could, Michael, I think it's entirely possible. I
think it's probably the least likely outcome just because it
just so many things have to happen for that to
be the case. But you know, usually several of these
states will kind of fall in line depending on how
the national trend and mood is. So because we are
(02:48):
talking about you know, roughly seventy thousand, you know, swing
voters in about you know, six states, so you know,
if one goes, they all tend to kind of go
the same way.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I wouldn't I wouldn't be.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Surprised if that's possible.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But I also because it's just such a tight race,
which again I was listening to Trump on Les Freedman's
podcast this week, and I think his point as an
opera one in terms of saying, I don't understand why
This is a close, right, but it is so well,
And there's two there's a big question how how big
is Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We often say there is no path for Kamala Harris
without Pennsylvania. There is a path for Donald Trump without Pennsylvania.
But Pennsylvania looks as much in play as Wisconsin, and
I do think for Donald Trump Georgia and North Carolina,
Wisconsin is probably the key. I think things look good
on the West coast in Nevada and Arizona, which is
why we're seeing Harris Wallace not playd that they're pounding Michigan, Wisconsin,
(03:45):
and Pennsylvania for Team Harris and the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I think that's a wise move.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I mean, that's the ballgame for them. If they win,
If they win the Blue Wall states, they win. So
that's that's the goal.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm you know, it is surprising that Joe Biden, who
is basically phoning it in for the last six months,
is being rolled out on the campaign trail.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
But you know, I think they got to.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
They have to pull every sunt they can for for
those Union voters in in those in those three states.
You know, I'll look at the I'll look at the map,
right now, I mean these are just all basically tied.
You have Pennsylvania, you know, the the average is about
point seven towards the towards Harris. Right now, Michigan's plus two.
(04:30):
George is about point five towards the Democrats. I think
that's gonna continue to tighten a little bit. But you know,
Georgia being where it is, it's it's just it's hard
to see what.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I'm what I find interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I mean, right now, Arizona's about plus one and a
half towards Republicans, which I think is an interesting trend
going the other.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Way for for for Trump and the Republicans. So I mean,
this is this one is just as tight as they
can get.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But Pennsylvania is the most likely to to be swing
a bowl from blue to red. So from from a
standpoint of end of Pennsylvania seems to be the key
to victory right now.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, this is the real clear politics kind of average
of everything. Trump leading in Arizona by one, Harris leading
by zero point one, so a dead tie, well within
the margin of error. In Georgia, Michigan one point one
leaning towards Harris. That's very slight. Nevada Harris up by
(05:26):
a half a point on the average. North Carolina, Trump's
lead is only zero point seven. I mean, you know,
it's so easy to focus on Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania over
and over again, but where do you put the Georgia
North Carolina?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Because I think that's huge, Well, that's huge, But I just,
you know, maybe this is like long history bias at
this point of just not believing the North Carolina is
going to swing blue, you know, I mean the last
time they did.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
That was was was was.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Eight and you know that that was kind of a
general rational election situation. I just I don't I don't
see that coming up this time. I just don't think
the energy is there. And Harris is not Obama as
much as the Democrats have tried to make her out
to be.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I mean, he's running an underwhelming campaign.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know that there their strategy of just kind of
waiting out the clock and hoping for you know, a
victory is yielding you know, fewer and fewer fruit now right.
I Mean, she had a huge bump coming in before
her convention, got no bounce out of her convention, and
since then, it's had a mediocre interview on CNN and
(06:37):
you know, a very mediocre vice presidential candidate that everyone
sees now that if she had picked Shapiro, she'd probably
be winning this thing that you can buy a little
bit of a bigger margin.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
But I mean, every when you look at these key
battleground states though, I mean they're almost all dead even.
I mean they're all like a point either way. If
there is a lead at all, and most of them
are under a point. I mean, you couldn't have a
more even matchup.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
This is how it looked before everybody understood that, you know,
Joe Biden had a cognitive issue. I still can't understand
how anybody could have been blind to that until the debate.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But okay, uh so, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So all Harris did mus get a little bit of
a bump coming out of the convention, but it was
never higher than where Joe was before his cognitive impairment
was revealed during the debate. And if anything, there's been
a slippe, we're really kind of right back, which points
to everything is writing on this debate, not necessarily for
Donald Trump, but for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Everything is writing on this debate.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
That's right, And you know, again she needs her security
lengths of Tim wats to do an interview, a softble
interview with Dana Bash. So you know, let's not forget
this is on ABC. You know, ABC might be one
of the most partisan news networks out there right now,
and that's saying something. I mean, they took Nate Silver's
five thirty eight model and turned it on his stent
(07:53):
to try to like seduce the numbers for Harris. So
you know, I would not be surprised. You know, Trump
is again debating three against one. Although, to be honest,
I think with Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did a
good job in the first debate with Biden.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well that was part of the game. Was that was
part of the setup to destroy Biden so they could
get to this. Yeah, yeah, I mean they were playing
their script. We're visiting with Chris Walker, Republican consultant analysts,
going over these numbers. If nothing else, I wanted firmly
in your head where we're at prior to the debate.
So when we look after the debate at the numbers,
we'll see who really won and lost the debate. Here's
the biggest intangible thirty six point five percent more people
(08:36):
think we're heading in the wrong direction than right direction.
So the majority of America still thinks we're heading in
the wrong direction. Does that apply to Joe Biden and
not Kamala Harris or does it apply to Kamala Harris
as well? And what role will that play and how
painful could Donald Trump make that for them in this debate,
because that could be a big area of opportunity.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I think paying.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, you know, again, the national narrative continues to be
a discussion about Trump. That's not a benefit to Trump,
you know, as much as these falls are tied. I
think Trump's point that he should be leading higher because
of all of these intangibles are correct, But I think
that it belies the point that the kind of the
overall national discussion to continue to be about the silly
(09:25):
things that we've been talking about for the last two weeks.
Whether it's Arlington or you know, Trump, you know, going
back and forth on abortion, you know issues, or marijuana
or other things.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
These are all conversations that.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Are not around the economy, around the jobs, around inflation,
around the Afghanistan withdrawal, around the failures of the Biden
Harris administration. I mean, the Republicans need to get laser
focused on talking about the failures and linking Harris to
Joe Biden. Right now, they're not doing that, and maybe part.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Of that's the media continuing to just do, you know,
running running for them, and they they truly are.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
In fact, I confronted a couple of Punchbowl News reporters
this week about it because they were fucking to this
group about Project twenty twenty five when everyone who's honest
knows that's it's our friends at the Herrine Foundation. So
you know, they're just being completely dishonest to a degree.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
That's just that, that's breathtaking.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Actually prepared two years before Donald Trump decided to run.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, let's look at the map. If we're there's
some quick assumptions here.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think Florida will be read, and I agree with
you that North Carolina will be read. Assuming that h
that puts Donald Trump at two hundred and thirty five
needing thirty five and Connall Harrison two twenty five needing
forty five. What does that leave as toss ups? Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona,
Nevada start placing them, all right, So Nevada, which way
(10:53):
do you think that's added. I they're all too close
to call, but I.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Nevada and Arizona are both much more likely for Trump
this year than they have been in years past. I'm leaning,
I'm moaning towards the red column for them, but I
you know, again, it's this historical bias of Nevada in
Arizona kind of leaning more blue.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I just I do think that they're more red than
they are they have been in the past.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
You have a lot of Republicans who fled California that
are not voting that way.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
And I think that's that's manifesting Napoleon.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And do we agree that Colorado and New Mexico will
go blue?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, I just that's that's about four or five years
off before that turns back to purple.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right, So make them blue. Well, these are the
tough ones, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Ironically, and I've done a lot of work in Wisconsin.
As you know, Wisconsin has gotten a lot bluer, you know, than.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
The other two right now in part you know, the
Milwaukee and Madison are just so blue.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
That it's just the rest of the states, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So I made him, I made him both blue guess
where we're at. Trump two fifty two, Harris two fifty.
Now we get to Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, that's the election. It's the most swingable.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What about Georgia? Are are you confident that Georgia.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Will be read?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
No, I'm not. I'm really not. Then it's over watching
my friends in Georgia's gonna be close.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
But you know, let's give him read because it's just
it's a Republican state. You know, timp won by you know,
twelve points, So I mean it should be read.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
All right, So guess what I mean showing? I just
want to walk people logically how I got here? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So I did make Georgia red, and I did get
Kamala Harris, Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin and Colorado and
New Mexico. And guess what the numbers are Harris two
sixty nine, Trump to sixty eight, No, one to seventy.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And that's the Nebraska, the Nebraska congressional district.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So now you need the congressional one of the two
congressional disc you know, for all this talk, could it
be Nebraska sides the presidency?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, talk about a crazy year ending even crazier they'll
both be a two sixty nine heading into Nebraska's final.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Say, this is fascinating to get my peto bismo, Michael,
this is giving me well.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And by the way, and if you take Pennsylvania off
the board completely, because that's they're not going to even
be able to count it.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's going to be Trump two sixty nine, Harris two fifty.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And then you'll have to wait a couple of days
for Pennsylvania to count all those mailing boats.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But even at that point, if you turn it blue.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's two sixty nine to two sixty nine waiting on
one district in Nebraska to decide at all.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But that's that's where we stand today. Let's keep all
this in mind, if for no other reason, as an
exercise after the debate and give it a week to
sort out. Looking at the polls and then looking at
the map, let's see how much the shape changes.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So far would I see big picture?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And now maybe oversimplifying it, we're kind of right where
we were with Joe before everybody came to the realization.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
He was cognitively impaired.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
After the debate, that's kind of where we're at so
no big gains for Trump. They gained some back from
their losses after the bad debate with Biden, but they're
not really any further. I mean everything points to this debate,
right and turn out and get out to vote.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
That's it, yep, which is why the Harris campaign is
only agreeing to one.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
The stakes couldn't be higher. I mean, it's just shows so.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Much sound that homoch Shmocrats don't trust their candidate, which
is which is crazy. I mean, of all of the things,
President Trump is a is a wild card. But Republicans have,
you know, to tide it to their credit, like we're
riding this thing and we're gonna we'll do podcast interviews
and whatever it takes to kind of to get people
to see the real Donald Trump outside of the media filter.
(14:55):
And here you have the Democrats hiding her from any
possible you know, kind of situation where people could get
to know her because they're afraid the more people get
to know her, the more they're go towards Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And well, yeah, because she's very unlikely. That's why they
couldn't get her elected in twenty twenty. Bottom line is
they hit Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Now they had
they had COVID, and they controlled technocracy and social media.
They don't control x anymore, and they're trying and attempting
to hide Kamala Harrison plain sight. I don't know that
that's going to give him a twenty twenty outcome, but
I do know that this debate there's a lot on line,
(15:28):
nothing on the line for Donald Trump, a lot on
the line for Kamala Harris. In fact, if I was
Donald Trump, I would extra play it safe, attack her
and her views and their leadership, do not personally attack her.
And he's to stop calling her an idiot or anything
like that, because there's nothing for him to gain. He
needs to sit there, you know, be presidential, provoke her
(15:50):
a little, and let her implode, and he'll win the election.
He gets over the aggressive, he puts her back in
the game. But I wanted to do this just as
a baseline, because this map is a coin toss, and
anybody tells you that they know who's gonna win this election,
they're blowing smoke up your dress.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It could go either way, which is what makes this
debate so important and understanding its impact after it's over
and hopefully today will go a long way to helping that.
Appreciate you getting up so early. I know that part
isn't fun.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Up brother, I'm at the gym. Let's let's go.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I want to join me.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Parolo run here.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh so you're gonna guilt me to boot right? Well,
you know I did two burphies today.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Jeff will tell you. I was riding the microphone and
it was loud.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
He did.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Chris Walker, thanks for joining us. We'll talk again on Monday.
This is your Morning show with Michael del TONO.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal. Jeffrey
Lyon has the controls. Aaron Real is standing by Hunter Biden,
pled guilty in his federal tax trial in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think he knows he's got a plea deal.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Why I get into the particulars of all that money
he earned and taxes he didn't pay.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It could embarrass the big guy, as he calls him.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
The father of the suspect in Wednesday's Georgia's school shooting
bought that gun that was used as a gift to
his son, who was investigated by the FBI year ago
for threatening a school shooting. And your idea is to
get him an automatic weapon. Father of the Year right,
he's had it to jail now arrested. Colin Gray arrested
the father with multiple charges, including second degree murder, and
(17:21):
the Chiefs did win last night twenty seven twenty as
the NFL season kicked off.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I never asked you that, Erin. Are you a big
NFL fan?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Know what?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I like college football more I think.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
About cottage footboard.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yes, I think it's awesome like it. It's really really fun.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
And I know what.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
There's kind of like more mistakes in a good way,
I guess, and that makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
In college mistakes make it fun.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That isn't no, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Like, I get the feeling if we talked.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
At great length about this, you'd get down to their outfits.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Because you know me. Well, that's why you feel that way.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Well, I say that you ride horses and you were
a hockey player. For crying out loud, she's a tough girl,
all right. So there are concerns again over North Korea,
this time infiltrating the IT departments at some of America's
most important companies and then sharing their secrets, and then
China's probably sharing the secrets they're getting from TikTok.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
None of this is good.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
None of this is good. None of this is good
at all. What we know is that essentially they've set
up these laptop firms, well, Americans have set up these
laptop firms. They're run by middleband here in the US.
They install these remote desktop software that allow these North
Koreans to log on to internal company servers from overseas,
creating the impression that they're here in the US. That
(18:36):
they are not, and they're really capitalizing on this post
COVID boom in remote work. They say hundreds, maybe thousands
of companies have unwittingly hired IT professionals from North Korea.
They believe that they've brought in close to seven million
for the North Korean government Pyongyang, pyeong Yang. But more
than just the seven million, they've been able to install
(18:59):
malware and get you company secrets and all these things.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
That's where the real issues lie.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Yeah, the salary is nice, and you give it to
the leader, but it doesn't really really serve their ends
in terms of their long term goals of stealing intellectual property.
It's incredible, actually, the Google Cloud Mandy and Cyber Threat Division.
One of the analysts there said that they were stunned,
just done by how prevalent this practice has been since
(19:25):
the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I love my company, I love my job. We do
a lot of training to protect our company from us
letting dumb things happen. And you know, I take those
very seriously, and I've learned a lot from them and
all the different And by the way, as soon as
you learn them, they're already trying their new tactics, so
you never really catch up. You can kind of stay
(19:47):
a little bit behind. But the notion that the companies
themselves that are doing all they can to protect this
information have actually unwillingly hired seven million North Koreans to
have access everything. I guess the question to Beggs is
are they looking for my social Security number, my address,
my phone number, everything in my identity or are they
(20:10):
looking for these company secrets.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
They're looking for company secrets for the most part. Yeah,
they like they need identity of Americans in order to
get the jobs in many cases, which they're stealing happily.
But that that is not really the end goal. It's
just like a functionality of the exercise of stealing of
getting to the end goal what they're doing. I think
that I think like the most interesting part is these
laptop farms that those that actually enable them and enable
(20:35):
anyone from overseas to appear as if they're.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
In the US.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Because you know, someone in Tennessee literally I'm not joking
that was in the addictment fires up a laptop, so
it gives them access to people overseas. There's also a
woman in Arizona and a man in Ukraine. They were
part of this network of laptop farms. Over three hundred
US companies unknowingly hired people from North Korea because of them.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Like that.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
It's not necessarily the companies as much as these like middlemen.
They know they're doing something kind of nefarious, like if
you want this like crazy ip from god knows where,
Like why would you want that? And I'm not saying
you're not entitled to it or like there can be
legitimate reasons why, but not always.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
As Joe Biden would say, and these job's backbone in
North three ecademy. All right, so the big question is
is this the iceberg itself or is this the tip
of the iceberg and only North Korea has been caught.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
I think it's the tip if I was, if I
was a betting woman, I would say that there's probably
so much more. The fact that the cybersecurity divisions at
Google are like shocked by this and say the scale
is just mind blo, mind boggling. Yeah, there's a lot
more to come.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And if you're a betting woman, you would have definitely
taken the Chief's minus the points at home last night, right, Abby, Yeah,
I mean you're no. Bruno Mars, great reporting as always, Aaron.
We'll talk again on Monday. Have a great weekend. And no,
I don't have any plans other than watching football.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Uh was there question before?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
All Right, if you're just waking up, these are the
top five stories of the day, and there's some biggies.
Starting with the father of the suspect and Wednesday's Georgia shooting.
He's been arrested and charged with murder, Chris Caragio reports and.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
Coordination with the District Attorney. With District Attorney Brad Smith,
the GBI has arrested Colin Gray, aged fifty four, in
connection to the shooting here at Appalachi High School.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
Gray was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two
counts of second degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty
to children. His fourteen year old son was charged with
four counts of felony murder and is set to appear
in court Friday morning, where he'll be charged as an adult.
He's accused of killing two students and two teachers at
Appalachi High School and Winder located about fifty miles northeast
of Atlanta. Nine others were injured. I'm Chris Karragio. We
(22:49):
talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We're all set to watch hunter Biden in trial in
Los Angeles for tax evasion. Just the conversation of how
he earned those millions China and all the embarrassing information
in this trial, more than even other trials that could
come out concerning the sitting president Joe Biden. What does
he walk in and do? He doesn't start trial, he
(23:12):
ends it by pleading guilty in Los Angeles. Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
After dane of surprises and legal wranglings, the president's son
planned guilty to all counts just as a jury was
about to be selected. The president's son is accused of
failing to pay more than a million dollars in federal
taxes between twenty sixteen and twenty nineteen. He will be
sentenced to some of the sixteenth and faces seventeen years
in prison and over a million dollars in fines. Legal
experts are speculating if the strategy could be part of
(23:37):
a future pardon or commutation, but President Biden seemed to
rule that out in June.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Yeah, he's also running for president, and
June he isn't any longer.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
The frequent flyer programs of top four US airlines all
being investigated for unfair practices.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Tammy Treheel has more.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
The Department of Transportation said Thursday that it was launching
a probe to make sure consumers do not fit deceptive
or anti competitive practices from the major carriers reuters as
Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge sent letters to American Delta,
Southwestern United Airlines ordering them to provide records and submit
reports about their rewards programs. I'm Tammy Trheo.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Jade Vance is calling for tighter school security harden the
target after the recent school shooting in Georgia.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
I don't like this.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I don't like to admit this.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
This is a fact of life.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
But if you're if you are a psycho and you
want to make headlines, you.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Realize that our schools are soft targets and we have
got a bolster security at our schools. Now a big
story you're going to hear about all day long.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The Associated Press, who feeds the narratives to all the
biased major networks, used a very misleading headline to target Jdvans.
He wasn't suggesting, Hey, school shootings are a part of life.
Nothing we can do. That isn't what he said. In fact,
just the opposite. You got to stop focusing on the guns.
Stop focusing. We got mental illness problems in America. There
(24:58):
are crazies and they plan to do crazy things. The
only thing we can do in the future is hardened
the target and protect our kids at the schools, kind
of the way we do every time they get on
the plane. Here's an interesting story. The so called Kansas
City Chiefs super fan linked to a series of bank
robberies will be in prison for close to twenty years.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Xavier Buddha dhar I think I said that right or
bad dudah.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Maybe it's bad, dudhar Well, whatever it is, he's going
to jail set in seventeen and a half years behind
bars Thursday morning in federal court in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
The prosecutors say.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
His trips to all the Chiefs games across the country
were all bankrolled by his nine armed robberies. The thirty
year old gained an online following under the nickname chiefs
Aholic and speaking of the Chiefs. Their first step towards
the three peat was last night, twenty seven to twenty
a win at home against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead.
Patrick mahomes twenty of twenty eight for two hundred and
(25:54):
ninety one yards, one touchdown, one interception. Don't be buying
into the Derek Henry trade a bust. Yes, Derek Henry
was held to forty four yards, but Lamar Jackson ran
for one hundred and twenty two and threw for nearly
three hundred. Very difficult to stop this one two punch
in a quarterback read situation. This was still a good
pickup for the Ravens, and the Ravens are still a
(26:15):
very good football team and they're likely to end up
back in that AFC Championship against the Chiefs again. But
how about the Chiefs defense. Oh that's what blew me
away last night. In baseball, cities of Major League interest
to our former engineer who wants me to constantly bring
up the Brewers, are we have a fan?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Fourteen games is their magic number nine fourteen games from
the twinter Division.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But of cities of your morning show interest. The Rangers
won three to one over the Angels, the Mariners six
to four over the A's. The Nats lost nine to
four to the Pirates, Dbacks lost three two to the Giants.
Rays lost four to three to the Twins. Cleveland and
the Cardinals were off birthdays today. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters
is eighty one, SNL's Jane Curtin is seventy seven, and
Bob's big Boy Governor Chris Christie sixty two years old.
(27:00):
He's got me by two years, really at about one
hundred pounds. Well, if it's your birthday, happy birthday. So
glad you were born, and thanks for waking up with
your morning show.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I just got this from the Home Office. Andrea writes,
Obviously they didn't want all the negative stuff to come
out and these last few weeks before the election. So yes,
he's probably definitely getting a pardon, all part of the
plan to get Kamala Harris into office. More manipulation. Well,
Hunter Biden pled guilty. There will be no trial in
(27:43):
Los Angeles. Will there be a pardon? Time will tell.
And the father of the suspect in Wednesday's Georgia's shooting
says he bought that gun as a gift to his son,
a son who was investigated a year ago for threatening
violence at school not good parenting. Colin Gray was arrested
and hit with multiple charges, including second degree murder. Rory
O'Neil is here with that story. We're learning more about
(28:05):
this family, and the more we learn, the more it's troubling.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
Yeah, yeah, really troubling allegations, including the mother as well,
who's got quite an extensive criminal record. But the fact
that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation acted so quickly, I
think to file these charges against the father is what's
pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Here.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
Four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of cruelty
to children. His son, the teenage suspect here is now
being held in the juvenile facility in Georgia facing four
felony counts of murder.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
One relative said that the teen suspect had been begging
for mental health help.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
Yeah, and again, as we start to peel back the
layers here, the stories and allegations just show how much
red flags were ignored, opportunities for intervention were missed. And
the fact that the police were called out to this
home last May to investigate allegations that the teenager was
making threats to schools online and that the dad took
(29:04):
no action to either restrict the gun availability in the
house but to actually give him one at Christmas time
is a real head scratch.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, and you and I are both pretty good about
not playing the narrative game. But there is a narrative
game at play, and one of the narrative games is
this is why we need legislation. This is why a
president shouldn't speak or whoever speaking for him at a
White House upon the news of a shooting. There's so
much you have to know before you should make a statement.
(29:34):
But the narrative early on was this is why we
need a sensible legislation and Republicans to work with Democrats,
in other words, focused on the gun. Now today you
got the Associated Press playing games with Vice presidential candidate
Jade Vance, who wasn't implying at all in a sense
that well, this is just a part of life. Now
you got to get used to it. No, that is
what he's saying, just the opposite. This is why we
(29:56):
got to get beyond just the simple argument of the guns.
We got to get to mental health, we got to
get to parenting, we got to get to some of
these cultural issues, but primarily we need to get to
hardening this target and protecting our kids in school because
crazy exists and we got to protect them from it.
But it is, it's so frustrating every time we have
one of these shootings. Look, every one of these shootings
are a different shooter. There's different particulars in different evidence,
(30:19):
and we all need to hold our opinions until we
know more.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Look how much more we know twenty four hours later?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
But you called this yesterday, well, oh no, I mean
you did in a sense that you know, I said,
my gosh, this one looks quickly like it points to
the father more than the gun, and the arrest.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Was done for the kicker off of the football game
last night.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
All right, So let's move on to the judge in
the RFK case. So right now, it's kind of split
fifty to fifty. Half of the swing states will have
RFK and the ballot half will not. Who does it
benefit if he's there or not there?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now? The fight is over North Carolina? Where does that stand? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (30:56):
The judge has given the Kennedy team until noon today
to convince her. I guess because she's already leaning to
let the ballots go out. But she said, all right,
we'll give you until noon today to convince me that
we should stop the ballots from going out. Now, these
are just the ballots that are going over, mostly for
military members serving overseas, that they'll be going out today.
(31:17):
There are still millions more of ballots in the state
of North Carolina that would go out for absentee voters
in the state. But these are meant for longer distances
away from home, and those are the ones going out
today that the Kennedy campaign is trying to stop.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Right, But those thereafter you will be removed, right, Yeah,
that's the way it looks now.
Speaker 11 (31:37):
But the question is what about this tranch about one
hundred and twenty five thousand, mostly military and overseas ballots.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And we could all speculate as to who the military
might be leaning towards, but at some point wouldn't this
come down to the letter of the law. And you
have this certain timeline in which to withdraw from a race,
Otherwise you could be on the ballot whether you're dead
or withdrew. So it should be black and white, not
really him making a case, right.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
And there's also the expense of it all and the process,
either the manual labor of putting that all together and
just the printing costs in and of itself. And you know,
for wire of taxpayers of North Carolina picking.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Up the tab here, you know, we did something fascinating
behind your back a half hour ago, and we went
through the electoral college map because I know that you're
good on all this stuff, and I stumbled on this
and I thought, well, if nothing else, I want to
get it all on record before the debate, because we
all know where the polls in the swing states stood.
When a lot of people still weren't paying attention but
when Joe Biden was in the race, and then after
(32:41):
he left the race, and then after the conventions, and
I wanted to get this baseline before the debate. That's
how much I think is on the line for Kamala
Harrison particular with this debate. And if you give New
Mexico and Colorado to Kamala, and you give Arizona and
Nevada to Trump, which I think is reasonable. If you
give Georgia to Trump, and that may not be a
sure thing, but doing that, uh in North Carolina, then
(33:04):
you give Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin all ta Kamala Harris, guess
where you're at?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Tied it two sixteen nineteen. And then we gotta do
you hate Nebraska? Well, it's the Nebraska you hate when
I praise you. But do you realize how much we're alike?
I think that's why you hate me.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yes, Could it be all this focus on Michigan, Pennsylvania
and they're important, you don't get to this, But could
it be a district in Nebraska is going to decide
the next president.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Well, that's the way it looks heading into the debate.
That's how much is on the line, all right now?
Speaker 11 (33:37):
But this is where I feel like we sound like
those desperate NFL people talking about NFL stuff in June,
you know, just just to make up stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Just always gotta make you, always gotta blindside me, don't you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Roy will be back next hour to insult me for
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Hill. Join up.
