Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Now.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this topid.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
This is your morning show with michael'dill chord.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
The concern all along was that Hurricane Helene would be
a storm surge issue for the Bend in Florida, but
a flooding issue inland for the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee.
And boy, that's exactly what it turned out to be.
President Biden is set to visit the region impacted by
Hurricane Helen this week. Yes, Stags.

Speaker 6 (00:51):
As a matter of fact, we're trying to get an
exact number freeman advisors on the ground in Florida right.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now, and that exact number now is at least ninety
nine deaths have been reported in the Southeast as a
result of Helene. The Carolinas in Ashville alone with over
thirty deaths, still a thousand unaccounted for, over two million
without power, and damage is estimated to be between fifteen
and one hundred billion dollars. Tennessee is known for being

(01:17):
the volunteer state, and Luke Williams and his team from Dixon, Tennessee,
do search and rescue all the time. This time they
find themselves just outside of Asheville, North Carolina. Good morning, y'all.

Speaker 7 (01:27):
We arrived in Swananoah last night at around midnight one
o'clock and driving into Swananoah through Ashville was absolutely devastating.
There were you know, felt pretty felt pretty empty. Honestly,
it felt pretty catastrophic. A lot of destruction all the

(01:48):
way up and down the roads coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
You could tell where water had been over all the roads.

Speaker 7 (01:52):
Where we're at is just a little bit east of
Ashville by a couple of miles, and we're responding here
to bring goods and supplies because there was several people
here who got trapped because of mudslides landslides, and they
had a lot of elderly here who didn't have any.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Access to the outside at all.

Speaker 7 (02:10):
So we had a good buddy of mine, Adam, dropping
a helly yesterday and they dropped off some basic supplies
and then we did a quick run and raised about
eight thousand dollars yesterday with supplies in trucks and made
our run up here for last night.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So over the next.

Speaker 7 (02:27):
Couple of days we'll be working with the locals here
making sure that they have any supplies they need, and
we'll be making additional runs outside of here, and we'll
also be doing search and rescue and door to door
welfare checks for this area and any other areas that
need us. So make sure you keep East Tennessee, North Carolina,
and of course down by the coast in your prayers.

(02:48):
This has been a major storm impacted a whole lot
of people and unfortunately it is catastrophic and it is
a lot of loss of life due to Hurricane Helen.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has brought in the
National Guard to lead the search and rescue and air
supplies of food and water and other central items continue
to get to the area. We encourage everyone to pray
and to give. North Carolina set up the North Carolina
Disaster Relief Fund NC dot gov forward slash donate perfectly

(03:19):
considered giving of your resources, so the professional professionals can
meet this need. There's also the Salvation Army at Salvation
Army dot org, the United Way, Catholic Charities, Southern Baptist
Disaster Relief, All Hands and Hearts, Red Cross. A lot
of you have vetted those that you trust in these
times of need. Give and give generously. All right, we
have the big veep debate tomorrow night and erase this

(03:42):
close I mean an electoral college map toss up with
things kind of breaking and getting extra close in Wisconsin
and Michigan. Good a vice presidential debate be the I
don't know, the final tiebreaker for whoever's still undecided. He's
a Republican can Selton, an analyst and a regular contributor
to your morning show, Scott Chris Walker had a lot

(04:05):
of Scotts today, Chris, forgive me, Scott Water is good.
What do you make of this debate and what it's worth? Yeah,
good morning, Michael.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
And it's it's hard to talk about politics.

Speaker 8 (04:16):
When we see our neighbors and our friends kind of
suffering in in the Carolinas. So you know, obviously, you
know that's what that's where my thoughts are this morning.
And obviously think about that as well. So I'm glad
to hear that update.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
You know, hard to pivot to politics, but let's try.
You know, the VP, the VP debates generally.

Speaker 8 (04:35):
Have not had a lot of impact overall. I would
say that what I anticipate in this debate is a
and this is not a partist. Please don't give me
an elephant on this. I just I think that jd
Vance is going to wipe the floor with with Tim Wallas.
I've never seen a VP candidate so underwhelming and so
not to the moment as Tim Wilts has been a

(04:56):
you know, that's an indication of Kamala's.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Uh, you know, decision making process.

Speaker 8 (05:01):
Were she to be president, her first and most important
decision was an absolute failure. You know, if the media
wasn't so you know, determined to try to help Kamala win.
You know, I think we hear a lot more stories
about about Tim Walton is Sailers, this Minnesota governor and
his you know, his his real failures on the campaign trat.

(05:22):
I mean, he's been you know, speaking the rooms of
of of four and five people, and you know, it's
it's it's just it's an amazing fact that I just
I think generally speaking, you know, Jad shows himself to
be willing to talk to any media, willing to talk
to any you know, outlet that will listen to him
and have him and I think that kind of iron

(05:44):
sharpens iron here in that case, I think Jady's ready
for a pretty solid debate tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, I think even Sarenight Live took a pretty good
suing at him yesterday for what he has perceived. Uh,
the portrayal is bumbling idiot. I'm not going to go there.
What I am going to say is, and this goes
unspoken in politics, whether it's a convention, whether it's a debate,
whether it's an inauguration speech, some people must rise and

(06:11):
live up to the size of the stage. I think
in the case of both of them it's a challenge.
But in particular for Tim Wallas. The other thing I
would ding him with. He's very far left, and he
and his wife have no problem playing far left. That
could be a big problem for the top of the
ticket moving forward if he goes in that direction. The
third thing storylines, I mean, some believe he even got

(06:34):
this job by coining the phrase that jd Vance and
Donald Trump are just weird. That won't play so well
with a very educated YELLE graduate ready to talk and
dismantle him on the issues as well as it's tough
to call somebody weird to their face.

Speaker 8 (06:52):
Well, yeah, obviously, And you know, compare JD's family and
his experience and his wife versus what Tim Waltz is
advocating for as a politician. The weird parts here are
what Tim and Tim and Kamala Harrison have determined to
be their their policy choices. I think price controls are weird.
I think you know, uh, boys playing in girls sports

(07:14):
is weird.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
And these are the things.

Speaker 8 (07:17):
And activities that Kamala and Tim Waltz advocate for daily.
So you know, from a standpoint of the weird factor,
that was a storyline for a couple of days because
again you have a compliant media, but rank and file
normal people are seeing what they're what they're seeing from
the Democrats right now and think this.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Isn't what I want. If I was handling if I
was handling JD. Vance, I'd have that in his mind
to bring that up, make that come up, and make
the debate about what is weird because the American people
may have a different view from Tim Walls, that would
be very wise in him to do. The other is
comparing their service. Uh, that could be problematic for Walls.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (07:59):
I mean, let's be honest, he was he was a
fiver about a lot of the stuff that he was saying.
He didn't well law on uniform you know, JD KD
is not. Again, this is a start contrast, so I
think will be highlighted greatly.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
My only issue is.

Speaker 8 (08:15):
Overall, this is a race amongst you know, the president
the top of the ticket bottom to take it.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
And so I think in a way Jad will have
a really good night tomorrow night.

Speaker 8 (08:25):
And I you know, I look forward to having a
post debate analysis and hopefully you and I are proven
right on that. But you know, I think the numbers
will be a little lower. I think the stakes will
be a little lower, just because this is a Trump
versus commona race at the end of the day, and
what are those two going to do and what are
they espousing for the country. But yes, tomorrow night, I
would expect a really good night for JD. And I

(08:46):
don't like falling into the trap of setting expectations. The
Republicans have been very bad about that as Joe Biden's president, suggesting.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Well, Republicans, you wipe the floor with them.

Speaker 8 (08:55):
I don't like playing that game, but in this case,
I just I can't see this scenario where Tim Walts
impresses me in a way that that over to overshadow
Jad Evans. I just I just think it's an unfair
fight from the get go.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Republican consultant in your morning show contributors, Chris Walker joining
us about the vice presidential debate. Do you think it's
j D's job to really outshine Walls or to make
Donald Trump shine? After all, he didn't really shine that
much in the last in his debate. Oh.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (09:27):
He is there to help President Trump look good, sound good,
and win, and I think a lot of that's going
to be litigating the case against Kamala Harris. You know
a lot of the VP selection process is to be
an attack dog. I think that's kind of changed a
little bit in a Trump era. But I don't think

(09:47):
JD's going to shy away from, you know, highlighting Kammala's record,
highlighting what the media refuses to do, and talking about
the immigration crisis that Kamala has overseen. His borders are
you know, all of the inflation that she's ever seen.
I mean, we's offered tim All last week was someone
who said, we can't afford four more years of this,
as if they're not in office right now, in power

(10:08):
right now. You know, that's the kind of team we're
working up against. And so I think from a standpoint
of that case, I think Jamie's going to have to
make the case against Kammell as much as making his
own in Trump's case, because ultimately this is the chance
in front of a wide audience for him to do so.
Because again, we just we have a media it's not
going to do it final.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Minute and this is just typical bias. And I say,
what makes it not typical is it's the Associated Press.
There was a time where the Associated Press provided the
wire for every radio and television station. So whatever the
Associated Press reported their narratives naturally got repeated by all media.
That's not quite the case anymore in the death of
journalism and cable television era and social media era. But

(10:51):
this is pretty despicable going into the debate. A new
AP they're quoting their own poll suggests that Walls is
better like than Van. Of course, when you go inside
the numbers, about twenty five percent already view JD Vance positive,
and it's only the thirty percent, So it's four and
ten versus three and ten, both of them are majority unknown.

(11:14):
And then it begs the question does America really hold
in higher esteem governors or senators? And then you've got
young versus old, you've got military, marine and National Guard,
and you know, and who relates to Minnesota anyway? So
what about the unknown factor? Does that matter? Does that

(11:34):
naturally lower the expectations and put them both on an
even playing field where we think one might shine more
than the other.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
I think Jad's going to shine more, partly because you know,
the liberal mindset does not allow itself.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
To be humble.

Speaker 8 (11:50):
And I think you're going to see Waltz kind of
going out there talking about his record, talking about what
he thinks he's done, and well, just Jesse, wait until
the government could come solve all your problems.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's just another DNA. I mean, I think we saw
JD just even.

Speaker 8 (12:03):
Over the weekend, how gracious he is in spite of,
you know, the vitriol that's leveled at him from from
the left and from from from outside media sources. And
so you know, I think JD will do it with
a smile. I think he'll do it with with facts
and logic and reason and intelligence.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
And I think he's.

Speaker 8 (12:20):
Going to have the ability to really, you know, kind
of let Tim Waltz be himself, and I think that
alone won't be enough to let JD kind of easily
win this.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
JD has the ability to.

Speaker 8 (12:31):
Have charisma and character and charm with him in a
way that that.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Will shine through because the filter won't be there to
to kind of try to prove otherwise. Mean, let's not
forget this is a a VP candidate.

Speaker 8 (12:42):
That has been absolutely ten to one covered in a
negative light, and you know that cannot not have.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
An impact on a people, which is obviously going to
be just anyway.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Jim Gaffigan's portrayal aside, he tends to be kind of
unleashed enthusiasm. Tim Walls, how that plays in a quiet
room with no audience, could be an intangible difference. Chris
Walker will have more in the post on Wednesday, but
that's a preview of the VEEP debate, which is a

(13:13):
little over twenty four hours away. Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael deltona.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
If you didn't see Sarahnatt Live. It's interesting when Hillary
Clinton was versus Donald Trump, they were clearly taking sides
with Hillary Clinton, just as they clearly took sides against
Sarah Palin and McCain. Then when Biden took on Trump,
they were still heavy on Biden anti Trump. This time around,
not so much. They're not taking sides. In fact, they're

(13:44):
finding the best characters to make fun of are on
the left. Jim Gaffigan played Tim Walls, Maya Rudolph played
Kamala Harris, and the showstealer was Dana Carvey playing Joe Biden. Now,
it has been long debated in my laundry list of
things from being a talk show host to an author
to stand up comedy impression versus impersonating uh data. Carvey

(14:08):
has always prided himself on picking on one or two
things and playing them, and boy did he find them
with Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Listen, everyone, we couldn't have gotten here without one man,
and his name is Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, remember when it was h. W. Bush, it was
not gonna do it. Watch how he has nailed the signature. Confused,
Joe Biden looks just like him. Watch this like and
Claire pose.

Speaker 9 (14:47):
That's right. A lot of people forget I'm president, include me.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
Guess what.

Speaker 9 (14:54):
By the way, I think I did a pretty good job.
I've had four bills in president history. The folks, we've
still got work to do, No, Joe, I mean right now, what.

Speaker 7 (15:13):
Us what?

Speaker 9 (15:14):
And by the way, the fact.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Of the matter is the rich today.

Speaker 6 (15:21):
The fair ship?

Speaker 10 (15:25):
Well then he absolutely know.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Jim Gaffigan is as Tim Walls was pretty funny too.
There were sketchy moments from Maya Rudolph, but then she
found her groove. It was a very, very long segment,
but Sarah ntt Lie probably expressing what a lot of
people are feeling. This is the best we could do
on all these sides, or if anything, they're finding most
of them making fun of on the left. All right,

(15:50):
no joking. Matter is everything going on concerning Helene. The
death toll is now up to ninety nine. We expect
that to rise even more still about a one thousand
unaccounted for millions without power, and damage is estimated to
be between fifteen and one one hundred billion dollars. President
Biden is set to visit the region. Doesn't want to

(16:11):
go until He's not interrupting any of the search and
rescue and the providing of supplies for those in need.
And there are so many supplies being airlifted in, so
the National Guard is airlifting in supplies to the counties
in western California and eastern Tennessee, food, watery, central items.
We visited earlier with Scott Kimbler, which has me calling

(16:33):
everybody Scott today because we've had so many Scotts. We've
had three Scots today. But you know, one of the
keys is going to be to restore communication in the area.
Then it's to get the necessary supplies, and then there's
the ongoing search and rescue. Need a lot of thoughts,
need a lot of prayers, and we need a lot
of giving. The Governor of North Carolina set up a

(16:54):
disaster relief fund nseed dot gov forward slash donate nseed
dot gov slash donate, and I encourage you to give
and give generously to the those that do this crisis
after crisis and do it in ways that you trust. Hey,
it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can be
heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central, six

(17:15):
to nine Eastern in Great cities like Nashville, Tennessee, Two Pulo, Mississippi,
and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and take the drive to work with
but better late than ever. We're grateful you're here now.
Enjoy the podcast This is Your Morning Show. Democrat Tim
Walls and Republican JD. Vance will face off and the
vice presidential debate tomorrow night. New polls suggest a very

(17:38):
tight race for the White House in two battleground states,
Michigan and Wisconsin. Country music star and actor Chris Christopherson
died at the age of eighty eight. Dame Maggie Smith
at the age of eighty nine, and the baseball playoffs
have some unfinished business. A double header today. For my
friends listening in Phoenix, it'll be the Mets and the
Braves in a double header. If they should get together

(17:59):
and coordinate a split, they're both in. If one of
those two teams win both games, the Dbacks are in.
But all of our thoughts, all of our prayers, and
all of our attention is on Eastern Tennessee and North
Carolina is there's still drama playing out. Thousands still unaccounted for,
ninety nine people now officially dead, millions without power, and

(18:19):
all morning long, Scott Kimbler has been keeping an eye
in particular in the Asheville, North Carolina region, where many
are still trapped and where much of the search and
rescue drama is taking place. Good morning, Scott, what's the latest.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, good morning, we have a new number that forty
six are now dead in western North Carolina. That's from
the Governor's office with a little bit ago m thirty
and just the Ashville area. So it's still a devastating,
devastated area. Also, it remains under a floodwatch into this
afternoon as more rain continues to fall. But that rain's

(18:54):
going to stop and it's going to clear up for
a couple of days in Asheville, North Carolina, and that's
going to help quite a bit. This is a twenty
five county region, including the Cherokee Territory of western North Carolina,
and what they're recovering from, or responding to, is ten
to twenty nine into the rain that fell in a

(19:15):
very very short amount of time.

Speaker 10 (19:17):
There.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
We have learned that some cell phoned companies have brought
in remote towers and also satellite trucks to improve cell service,
and that, unfortunately and unfortunately is going to be where
a lot of these numbers are going to rise because
people have been unreachable in these remote areas of Asheville,

(19:38):
which is a very rural part of the state and
very mountainous part of the state. So we are talking
about you folks who live in communities that may have
one or two lane roads that lead to them, if
not dirt roads will lead to them that have been
washed away or have been impassable, and the people have
just been unreachable. Right now, we have more than more

(19:59):
than a thousand people being treated in twenty four shelters,
and they're also establishing remote hospitals. Five hundred National Guard
troops have descended onto the area and also alignemen from
all over the country are hitting there. Sixteen hundred road
crew workers are currently active in the area trying to

(20:22):
open some of these roads. And believe it or not,
the governor has warned against sightseers. They've had people going
to western North Carolina to take a look around, and
he emphasizes now is not the time to do this
as they just have this horrendous situation going on.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
That kind of reminds me Scott to just kind of
interrupt and say, this contend to be a television event
for a lot of people. It is not. It is
a human tragedy. It's human drama. There is real search
and rescue. There are people in need of real immediate resources.

(21:00):
Having come from a Katrina background, I can tell you
while we're discussing this, there's life and death drama going
on the ground and that is nothing to be sight seeing.
I guess the priority is number one, what search and
rescue and then helicoptering in all of these necessary supplies
from food to water and what have you, and then restoration,
not the least of which is communication, which is huge.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
When that communication is restored, that's not just for search
and rescue and for those that are supplying needs, but
also for a lot of people that are trying to
get a hold of people to make sure that they're
accounted for. Right.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, that is correct that a lot of these people
have been unreached, so unreachable for quite a handful of
days right now, and so the depth toll or the
injured toll could rise very very quickly, and it's expected
to rise quickly, and it's going to take quite a
while for them to even get a grasp on the

(21:57):
number of people that they're dealing with. The I of
restoration is still pretty far down the line. This is
this is very much an urgent saving lives sort of
operation going on right now. And you mentioned the supplies
being delivered in. United Way has teamed with the state
and has been flying in water and food and medical supplies,

(22:21):
and the activity of that is expected to to increase
in very short order. As I may have mentioned, five
hundred National Guard troops are descending into the area, and
we also have a US military that is mobilizing to
help as well, and they're trucking and fuel and they're
flying and water supplies and food supplies. And this is

(22:45):
this is just a major, major, major operation you have mentioned, Katrina,
you're now the You're of a very small group who
have made that comparison. But this is very much like
a GA Tree event, and that is just so localized
to that portion of the state and also Eastern Tennessee

(23:07):
as well. Not to leave them ignored at all, but yes,
it is a very big people for levent that just
keeps going bad.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
People forget most of the damage and Most of the
death toll of Katrina took place days after the hurricane.
That's what Helene will be known for. The storm surge
that was unsurvivable in Florida, but the flooding and the
impact inland, not the least of which is North Carolina.
By the way, that Governor Cooper of North Carolina has
set up the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. You can give,

(23:37):
and I think it's in all of us as humans
to pray for these people, to pray for the responders,
to pray for those who are helping those in need,
and to give. I encourage you to give it. N
seed dot gov forward slash donate n seed dot gov
forward slash donating. As you've mentioned several there's a Salvation Army,
the Red Cross, the United Way, Catholic Charities, Southern Baptist

(23:58):
Disaster Relief, all hands and hearts wherever you feel led
to give, give and give generous. A great reporting today, Scott,
God bless you talk soon. You got it. Forty two
minutes after the hour, well, President Biden said he's sent
to visit the region impacted by Hurricane Helen later this week.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
Yeah, it's a strategy as a matter of fact, for
signing to his exact number Freeman advisors on the ground
a farther.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Right now, As Scott just mentioned, the death toll in
and around Ashville has risen from thirty to forty six.
It was at eighty nine. When I went to bed
last night, the death toll was at ninety nine, and
I suspect it's risen even since then. The Carolinas have
now got forty six in the Asheville area alone, still

(24:46):
about one thousand unaccounted for, and a statement Sunday that
from the White House, Biden extended his intent to travel
to the impacted areas this week, but will only do
so when it's not a disruption to emergency operations. Biden
also spoke on the phone Sunday with Georgia and North
Carolina governors, as well as additional officials in North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida,
and South Carolina. Meanwhile, the North Carolina governor says help

(25:10):
is on the way. He's bringing in the National Guard
some troops to provide supplies, food, water, and other essential items.
He called the flood and again you're gonna hear a
lot of experts talk about is this a once a
hundred or a once in five hundred year flood. Either way,
there are plans and doors for such a thing, and
it's another living it in real time.

Speaker 11 (25:28):
This unprecedented storm dropped from ten to twenty nine inches
of rain across the mountains, causing life threatening floods and landslides.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Most grocery stores are only accepting cash, and while food
and water is being airlifted in. There are reports of
long gas lines with fights breaking out. At least ninety
nine deaths reported in the southeast Cooper Set. Officials are
working tirelessly to get relief to these areas most affected
by the crisis.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
A number of mass feeding sites have been open.

Speaker 11 (26:01):
Water, food and other supplies were coming into Asheville and
they're also being airlifted from there to surrounding counties.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Meanwhile, President former President Donald Trump was in Pennsylvania and
he was laser focused on the border crisis. Mark Mayfield
has Our Road to the White House. Road to the
White House. Twenty twenty four.

Speaker 12 (26:20):
Former President Trump was slamming Vice President Harris on immigration.
Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania Sunday, He claimed the
policies of the Harris and Biden administration have led thousands
of terrorists into the country.

Speaker 9 (26:32):
You know, I had one year where border patrol said
no terrorists came in. Thousands of terrorsts are pouring into
our country now.

Speaker 12 (26:39):
He went on to town Hills record on immigration, saying
the border was much more secure under his presidency.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
In a new poll shows.

Speaker 12 (26:46):
A very tight race for the White House in the
battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin. The New York Times
Siena College poll released Saturday shows Vice President Harris leading
former President Trump by a single point in Michigan percent
to forty seven percent. It also gives Harris a two
points advantage over Trump in Wisconsin. I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Unlike in the presidential debates, the vice presidential candidate's microphones
will remain on at all times, Tammy Trihilo explains.

Speaker 13 (27:10):
CBS News on Friday announced the debate rules, to which
the campaigns for Democrat Tim Walls and Republican JD Vance agreed.
CBS News did say that moderators could turn off the
participants microphones if necessary. For the presidential debate between Vice
President Harris and former President Trump, the microphone was needed
for the candidate who was not responding. As in the

(27:30):
presidential debate, there will be no audience for the VP debate.
CBS anchor Nor O'Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret
Brennan will moderate the debate, which is set for Tuesday
night at nine pm Eastern from the CBS Broadcast Center
in New York City.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I'm Tammy Triheo. Actress Dave Maggie Smith is dead at
the age of eighty nine.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
There's nothing simple.

Speaker 9 (27:50):
The avoiding people you don't like, avoiding one's friends, that
is the real test.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Her son's confirmed to the BBC that she died at
a hospital on Friday. She's known for a role Professor
McGonagall in the Harry Potter franchise and a Roland Dalton Abbey.

of the highwaymen.

Speaker 13 (28:55):
Hey, this is Top Cop Kathy Hinters in My Morning
Show is your Morning Show with Michael dale Jorn.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
The death toll is now ninety nine people and it
is expected to rise and rise greatly. Still about one
thousand unaccounted for, millions without power. Damage estimated between fifteen
and one hundred billion dollars. We knew this would be
a storm surge story for the coastline of Florida, but
we knew it would be a devastating floodstory. You know,

(29:21):
in our conversation with Scott Kimbler, it comes up. Most
of the life and death and damage of Katrina was
days after Katrina. That's exactly what we're experiencing in eastern
Tennessee and in western Carolina. I encourage you, we are
all made to love one another and to make a difference.

(29:43):
Don't ignore this story. Pray for these people, Pray for
the rescue teams, and consider giving. The Governor of North
Carolina set up a disaster relief fund at NCED dot
gov forward slash. Donate their Salvation Army, Red Cross, United Way,
Catholic Charity, Southern Baptist disaster Relief. Whatever you trust, give
you will feel better making a difference, and your fellow

(30:04):
Americans need it now. Having said that, we do have
a vice presidential debate tomorrow night, and our White House
correspondent John Decker is joining us with the preview, any chance,
as close as this race is, this can mean a
deciding factor for somebody undecided, very unlikely.

Speaker 10 (30:20):
Vice presidential debates really do not have that kind of
an impact on most voters. I've yet to meet in
all the years I've covered politics, and a voter who said,
you know what, it was the vice presidential debate that
can tell me to vote for one candidate or another.
That being said, you know this, Michael, we talk about

(30:40):
it every day exactly five weeks tomorrow until the presidential election.
It's a coin flip right now, and any little bit helps,
you know, And that's the reason why I think tens
of millions will be tuning in.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Tomorrow night for this debate from New York.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Well, when you think about vice presidential debates, the most
memorable moment and vice presidential debate history was Lloyd Benson
to Dan Quail I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was
a friend of mine, Senator, You're no Jack Kennedy, and
I might remind everybody. Lloyd Benson went on to lose,
so right, But I would I suspect it's a lot
about maybe unfinished business Donald Trump left on the table.

(31:17):
It'll be interesting to see whether or not JD. Vance
feels a need to mop up some of the unfinished
business of Donald Trump or mop the floor with Tim Walls.
But I think it's only going to make people who
already feel secure with the way they're voting feel more
secure or less secure. But I don't know if it
changes any votes either.

Speaker 10 (31:38):
Well, I think that's a good read on it.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
You know, JD.

Speaker 10 (31:41):
Vans and Sim Walls, they have a difficult task. One
the most important tast is advocating for the JD. Van's
advocates for Donald Trump. Tim Walls advocating for Kamala Harrison.
But for JD. Vans also, he has to, I think,
really kind of soften his image with voters. His introduction
to most of America has not been the greatest one,

(32:05):
just based upon his pull numbers, his favorability numbers.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
So if he can.

Speaker 10 (32:10):
Project some warm I think that's helpful to him. But
it's tough to project warm when you're out there being
an attack dog, you know, for for Donald Trump, so
that's difficult for him. For Tim Walls, he will certainly
be attacked over his liberal record as the governor of Minnesota,
the steps that he took in the unrest in twenty

(32:31):
twenty Durama, George Floyd murder that took place in Minnesota,
also his military record. All of that will likely come
up tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, and I think that would it would be interesting
if they If he doesn't bring it up, I actually
think JD should bring up the whole weird thing and
have a discussion with America about what is weird and
what is not weird. The interesting about JD is that
you know he's going I want to be very skilled
at the debate side. I agree with you on the warmth.

(33:04):
For Tim Walls, Unlike Kamala Harris, he's not one to
hedge his bets. He's far left, he's proud of it,
and out of the abundance of his heart, it usually
comes out. I'm not sure that's going to help the
top of the ticket if it goes there tonight.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Debate States Tomorrow night, and wouldn't you know it, there
are two.

Speaker 10 (33:22):
Very important Midwestern states better at stake in this election,
Michigan and Wisconsin, and so you can certainly bet building
and appeals by both of these candidates to those undecided
voters in those two Midwestern states, and also western Pennsylvania
as well.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
John Decker with the preview of the deep debate tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
