Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k f YI
and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland
and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a
part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you
listen live, but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Because we're in the stupid This is your Morning Show
with Michael Bill Jordan on.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
The aeron streaming live, on your Heart radio app and
on the air in a new city. I left my heart.
I hit that note earlier off the air. I don't
even want to attempt it on the air. Wasn't even sharp.
We're flat to right on the money earlier, perfect pitch.
Can't do it when I'm live the all New Knew
(00:54):
nine sixty AM, iHeart Sports Talking more in San Francisco.
Welcome to the Your Morning Show family. We appreciate adding
San Francisco to our list of many many cities, and
of course, you can listen worldwide, anytime, anywhere, on the
iHeart app all right if you're just waking up. FEMA
working to deliver food and water as search and rescue
continues in North Carolina. The death toll has now risen
(01:15):
to one hundred and thirty two, at least six hundred
to one thousand people still unaccounted for, which has many
believing that that death toll could rise tremendously in the
days ahead. As time continues to pass. Some two million
without power throughout the Southeast, still about over four hundred
thousand in North Carolina alone, and then to add to
(01:37):
that from Maine to Texas, port workers of what have
gone on strike. I have made many comments about the
political implications. Is this the October surprise? Forget the vice
presidential debate tonight? Could this be the decider in a
very tight election? But our talk back button tells us
some people heard something else. Let's hear. Oh did I
(02:00):
on that? I didn't mean to Oops.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The fourth carrier, Sprint, Verizon AT and T, T Mobile
and Sprint are the four main carriers in the United States.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, I thought you were going to play the one
the guy that thinks we took sides against the UH
that same gentleman. Sorry, it was the same name. By
the way, AT and T and T Mobile are the
same now, so I don't know if that's true. Yeah,
you still only have three if aha.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, make those indentured servants.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Get back to work.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I can't believe what side of this argument you guys
are taking. And you call yourself conservative carrier. We are starving,
we are barely making our mortgage while companies report record profits.
Obviously something has to give. Whose side are you on
(02:58):
the country or corporate?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
First of all, there's a lot of people struggling in
this economy. There's a lot of people that are deeply
in debt and barely getting by and barely struggling to
make their mortgage. We have a housing crisis, we have
an economic crisis. We have a price of living cost
of living crisis, we have a border crisis. There's a
lot of people suffering. Nobody took any sides. We tried
to lay out what's at stake here. I don't think
(03:22):
it's money alone to the point, and I'm not arguing
first so I don't like to hear anybody suffering. I
don't like to hear anybody struggling to make a wage.
So I get your side of the argument, and I
also hear their side of the argument. They came with
the money. The problem is the automation, and the automation
(03:43):
is going to replace jobs. So they're clearly not interested
in just making more money for those who survive. They
want to protect jobs as well. I get their side
of the argument. I'm not taking a side on that
at all. That's what needs to be negotiating. I do
on thing I discussed was I find it interesting that
Joe Biden is not going to intervene the taft Hardly
(04:08):
would hardly would allow at least a cooling off period
that would take you past the election. I mean so,
I mean, I think you know it's one thing is
out of that's conjecture. No, why is Joe Biden? And
it doesn't mean he'll stick to it. He could change
his mind, but right now, why on earth would he
(04:30):
allow this to go on? I can't think of anybody
who wouldn't prognosticate that's it. That's the October surprise and
an election that is already raised her close and falling
away from her and towards Donald Trump, an economic crisis,
(04:52):
and if this looms for days, I got a email message.
This particular person has customers in fifty eight countries and
they've got a truck that's supposed to ship out of
Spain on Friday. He's saying the impact is immediate. Well,
I get immediate, but I'm talking if this goes multiple
(05:13):
days into weeks, you got ships that are just going
to return home. Now you have a major disruption, a
COVID like disruption in the supply line. And if it
goes on for months, you've got a real crisis. So
the only thing I commented on, and I'm not taking
(05:35):
sides either way, is if they can't work this out
and the President isn't going to intervene, this could be
a deciding factor in the election. Will be We're all
ready with interest rates just starting to come down, but
home ownership is a crisis. Inflation and cost of living
(05:57):
is a crisis. It's technically cost of living because if
you get into inflation, the numbers are getting closer to
two percent. But now we're getting the job loss. I mean,
it's a mess, but this would be a house of
cards if it plays out.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I understand there are points to be made on both sides.
I don't think it's a true test of conservativism to
back unions. But I digres. I mean I have compassion,
and that's for your leaders to negotiate with their leaders.
But the notion that a president of the United States
whose vice president is running for office in less than
(06:37):
five weeks would allow this strike and the impact of
this strike to actually take place prior to an election,
it's got to have you scratch your head and say, uh,
what's going on here?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's if they stick to this path. They could change,
but it would decide the election, and there'd be a
world to hurt for all of Americans and a lot
of job loss for all Americans, not just job losses
due to automation. So we welcome any opportunity to clarify.
We also welcome criticism. But I did not take any side.
(07:13):
In fact, the only side I took was the political angle.
This could be the big October surprise that decides the election.
We also had the Bookie callback. We have a Your
Morning Show Bookie. We follow the electoral college map. He
follows the betting lines, among other things.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
A'll follow up. Those ships could stay for months. There's
no bananas on those votes. There's medical supplies, blood, frozen food.
They're checked every hour. If there's any issues, they will
head home. Is there anything he doesn't know?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
No, he's well read, as we like to say. We
got new polls yesterday. I do this disclaimer. I'm gonna
do it really quick. I know some of you don't
believe in polls. They're supposed to give you a snapshot
of where Americans are today. Oftentimes they used to manipulate
and get you where they want you to be on
election day. We also have a problem.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Donald Trump supporters are undersampled and unheard because they don't
trust the people doing the polls, so they won't talk
to them. Poles have other problems. They have a hard
time getting a hold of people now because nobody has
on phones and people just don't answer their mobile phone,
just like they don't really go to their mailbox much
anymore because it's usually just junk if they don't know
(08:31):
who it is. So polings has its challenges, but they're
never off that much. And what do the polls show.
They show a very close race, but they show a
race that is breaking Donald Trump's way. Yesterday we got
new polling information from key swing states in Arizona, donald
(08:51):
Trump leads now by zero point one or by two percent,
rather two points. In Arizona and Nevada, he now trails
by one point three percent. In Wisconsin, he trails by
zero point eight percent. Remember we talk about how Donald
Trump under polls. If he's down less than one percent,
is he really up to Michigan Harris leads by one
(09:15):
point four percent. But again, these are the kind of
numbers Michigan and Wisconsin had in twenty sixteen when Donald
Trump took both. Most troubling for the Democrats. Pennsylvania has
shifted Donald Trump at forty eight point one percent, Kamala
Harris at forty seven point nine percent, Trump up by
zero point two percent. Then we talked about how important
(09:36):
North Carolina and Georgia are. Donald Trump must have them
to put himself in a position to victory. He leads
in North Carolina by zero point six percent, and he
leads in Georgia by one point four percent. Take that poll,
and I'm not saying you should, but take that poll.
By the way, the only bad news for Donald Trump
was in Nevada, where he still trails by one point
three percent. But if we took this and put it
(09:58):
to the electoral college map. Go ahead and give Kamala
Harris Nevada, give the president former president Donald Trump, Arizona.
Give Kamala Harris Wisconsin and Michigan as she leads by
less than two tenths. But if you flip Pennsylvania and
North Carolina and Georgia hold, Donald Trump gets two hundred
(10:20):
ninety four electoral votes to Kamala Harris as two hundred
and forty four. And if either Michigan or Wisconsin should flip,
I don't have to tell you it's now a landslide.
Donald Trump's over three hundred and if Nevada were to
hang on for Donald Trump in addition to one of
those states three hundred and ten to two twenty eight,
somebody even call that a landslide. Maybe not as close
(10:40):
as you think, and certainly more paths for Donald Trump.
So what does that put at stake tonight with a
big vice presidential debate, Probably not a lot. I mean
my take on this is, I don't think there's anybody
undecided in America that's gonna say I can't decide. If
you can't decide between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, you're
either paralyzed by identity politics or personality politics, because it
(11:04):
certainly can't be policies. They couldn't be more different. And
I doubt you're gonna watch tonight and go well. Tim
made the difference. For me, I'm gonna go Kamala. What
I do think tonight could do is make those that
support Donald Trump feel even better about that support, feel
vindicated from a poor performance in Donald Trump's debate compared
(11:25):
to a good performance tonight build some energy which could
impact turnout. And I think if Tim Walls does good,
it could make people that are really holding their nose
in supporting Kamala Harris feel a little less grip on
their nostrils and feel better about their vote. But I
don't think it's going to sway anybody. A strike of
(11:47):
dock workers from Maine to Texas and the impact on
the economy that could and could potentially be the October surprise,
And that's what I think this morning. You got the
talkback button for what you think? You got my email
Michael di Atiheartmedia dot com and you can also call
one eight hundred six eight eight ninety five twenty two.
(12:08):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuona.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Michael, Good morning, It's Woody. Hey, no worries. That brilliant Kamala.
She'll jump in there. She's a mastering negotiator. She'll get
this resolved in no.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Time at all. Yeah, right, she only Paul business.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
You might be on the subthence, there's something about this
Joe taking no action. It's been reported he's got animosity
and bitterness how this all went down, and this could
be him throwing her under the bus.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
What do you call him from the Phoenix area. Yeah,
that that to me is what stinks to I have it. Look,
it has been Joe Biden's ambition his entire life to
be president. He would have liked to have been when
he was plagiarizing. He doesn't like the way he got
hit in a basement to get it this way, and
then how he got forced out. If he doesn't step in,
this is the October surprise that will keep Kamala Harris
(13:06):
from getting the White House. This strike in an already inflationary,
high cost of living struggling economy could be potentially devastating,
by the way, if you're just waking up. In addition
to that, strike. We got the vice presidential debate tonight,
and all eyes still on North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene
is now being blamed for at least one hundred and
(13:28):
thirty two deaths, still some six hundred to one thousand
unaccounted for. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said the damage
is extensive in his state.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Today, we did an aerial overview to see the damage
here in western North Carolina, and it is extensive and devastating.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
More than four hundred thousand people in North Carolina alone
among the two million throughout the southeast still without power.
FEMA Administrator Diane Criswell, so they're doing all they can
to help.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
So far, we have over twelve under personnel from across
the federal family supporting the response efforts. That includes things
like our search and rescue teams, our medical teams from
Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I wasn't excited about candidates for a presidential election using
tragedy for campaigning. One did it a little better than others.
Donald Trump was in Georgia as he tries to help
Georgians recover from Hurricane Helen. Lisa Taylor has those details.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
The former president was in Valdosta in the southern part
of the state with supplies into We're.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Working with the people in North Carolina now to get
them hooked up for communication.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
And in the meantime, we're at Bell Dausta and going.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
We're with the mayor and the concressm and everybody else.
We've brought a lot of supplies.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Trump says he knows many thousands or without power and
he hopes he can help. He said he spoke with
Elon Musk and he's working to get him to get
his Starlink internet system up and running so people can
stay connected. Trump added he's putting politics aside for the
time being. I'MI se Taylor.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Let's get it out.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Time to get it on.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
JD.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Vance and Tim Wallas will stwear off and the vice
presidential debate tonight. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
Former President Trump has high hopes for his VP pick.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
I think Jad's going to the greatest.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
First five guys done a great job. People like him
a lot.
Speaker 12 (15:17):
This ninety minute face off will be the VP candidates
one and only debate. Walls, the Democratic governor of Minnesota,
and Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, have been prepping
for the debate for the last couple of weeks. There
will be no audience, but there will be open microphones.
The CBS hosted event starts at nine pm Eastern. I'm
mart Nayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Nobody got more hits than Charlie Hussel, and he's not
in the Hall of Fame as Major League Baseball's in
bed with gaming. Talk about hypocrisy, and now it's too late.
Pete Rose has died at eighty three. Chris Carragio has
our story.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Baseball's hit King Pete Rose has died at the age
of eighty three.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
He passed away today at his home in Las Vegas.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Rose accumulated forty two hundred and fifty six hits over
a career that spanned twenty four seasons. He was banned
from baseball after it was determined that he bet on games.
Rose played most of his career for his hometown Cincinnati Reds,
but also spend time with the Phillies and Expos. Rose
returned to Cincinnati, where he finished his career as a
player manager. He was a seventeen time All Star. He
(16:13):
won three World Series and was the nineteen seventy three MVP.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
They say days are long, but life is short. Days
are long. Can you believe it's October? And what a
busy way to start the month. Here's bree Tennis.
Speaker 13 (16:27):
The new month starts out with National Taco Day. That's
thanks to Taco Bell moving it to the first Tuesday
in October. Today is also National Pumpkins Spice Day, perhaps
a latte in your future, which officially kicks off the
fall season, although Starbucks launched their PSL drinks.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
Back in August.
Speaker 13 (16:43):
And to top it all off, today is National Homemade
Cookie Day, so we're gonna need you to get busy
in the kitchen. I'm pre Tennis, sure.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I needed cookie all right? Monday Night Football had a
double header last night. Titans won the first one thirty
one twelve over the Dolphins. Seahawks fell to the Alliance
forty two to twenty nine. Ball No Diamondbacks. They split
that doubleheader yesterday, so the Mets and the Braves Advance
Brewers will host the Mets Padres, the Braves, Tigers, Astros
Royal Zo's as Major League Baseball Wildcard Playoffs begin today. Hi,
(17:14):
I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every weekday
morning to your Morning show Live. Even take us along
with you on the drive to work. We can be
heard on great radio stations like one oh four ninth
The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety eight
point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News
Talk five fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine. But we're
always grateful you're here. Now enjoyed the podcast. By the way,
(17:37):
we would like to welcome I loved my hat and
now I found it again the All New Knew nine
sixty AM. I heard sports Talking more in San Francisco.
Welcome to the your morning show family. Here's our commitment
to you. We inform you I like to think that
we look at the top stories of every day from
(17:58):
some of the most unique and inter angles. We make
a promise We're not going to tell you how to think.
There's enough talking points and narratives out there. We live
in the divided States of America, caught up in a matrix.
You don't need more narrative repeating. We're going to look
at the stories honestly allow you to come to your
own conclusions. So we assist you in journeys of real
(18:18):
discovery and understanding. But we hope you like the show
and if you do, help share it with friends. Now,
if you're just waking up, Jimmy Carter turns one hundred today,
Pete Rose has passed away at eighty three. It had
been my hope that Major League Baseball would put this
man in the Hall of Fame while he was still alive.
You want to talk about hypocrisy, You can't watch a
baseball game without two gambling ads in every in between
(18:41):
any commercial break. Now it's too late. Pete Rose has
gone at the age of eighty three. Big VEEP debate tonight.
What do you think could have a bigger impact on
the outcome of this close election? A vice presidential debate
tonight or a port workers strike? I think it's the latter. Meanwhile,
FEMA working to deliver food and water as search and
(19:04):
rescue continues in North Carolina. The death toll has risen
those still on accounted for is high and with the
very latest Scott Kembler is joining us. Scott, good morning,
Good morning. All right, where do we start? We wanted
to improve communications. By the way, did you ever figure
out because I had somebody on the talkback button say, oh,
Sprint is the fourth carrier, but Sprint and T Mobile
(19:27):
are the same, So I still only have three that
I can think of, Verizon, AT and T and T Mobile?
Which one was the fourth? Was it Sprint? And we're
counting them as two.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I can't think right off that I believe we Yeah,
I believe we are accounting them as too. They're the
same entity overall, but they're there are separate operations.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
All right. So they set up temporary towers. That's going
to assist in many ways restoring communication. How's it working?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So? For off, what I understand it is people are
able to get alerts on their cell phones and people
are also able to call out. Case in point, I
have two relatives that live up there, and I was
in contact with one of my siblings yesterday and he
had actually talked to the other two, but they had
been unheard of for a couple of days. But he
(20:17):
was supposed that he was able to reach them both yesterday.
And that's because sell service in that particular area, which
is Spruce Pine, had been restored, so us learning that
they were okay. This is going to be the case
across the board that people are learning about the condition
of people that have been cut off for several days
(20:39):
at this point. So improving a communication there with the
satellite trucks of the temporary towers is a great improvement
in both getting help to the people, but also people
are learning authorities that they do need help.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Twenty four hours ago we began the show with the
death toll at ninety one. It rose tonight before the
end of the show. Now it's at one hundred and
thirty two. Just how high could this go?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Well, sadly, we have fifty six in North Carolina and
that is likely to continue to climb. And this is
largely in part due to the people who have been
isolated for such an amount of time. We're talking since Friday,
that some of these people have been isolated, and now
that now that they are just able to get to
(21:28):
some of these areas and more every day, sadly, they
are learning that more people have perished on the upside.
This also means that they are reaching people who they
thought perhaps may have but did survive and are now
getting the help that they needed.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
All Right, we brought in the National Guard and military support,
and what have they been spending most of their efforts doing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Well, the National Guard has been doing a lot in
bringing food into the area and water and as well
as basic need commodities and establishing these service areas around
the greater Ashville area and helping with that. But also
the National Guard is brought in makeshift bridges. I'm not
(22:19):
sure exactly how it works, not being an engineer, but
these roads that have been wiped away, and in some
cases bridges that have been wiped away, they have military
bridges that they can set up relatively quickly, certainly faster
than constructing one. And the roads that they could not
get up before, they're finding that they can get up
now because they've been able to put in these temporary
(22:42):
bridges to do so.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Scott Kembler covering Asheville, North Carolina, and Augusta, Georgia, still
reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helen. I have seen
news reports of six hundred you've reported as many as
one thousand still unaccounted for. How much communications help get
that number down versus literally getting searching homes one by
(23:05):
one to sort.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Of help tremendously because they're able to send out the
use alerts like when you get an Amber alert on
your phone or a leadized call or what have you.
They're able to do the same now and say, you know, hey,
we're looking for people in this region, and this gives
an opportunity for people to respond, which should greatly reduce
the number of people who are unaccounted for at this time.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I guess the last question is the grimmest. Right now,
it's search and recovery. At what point does it just
become recovery? I mean, how many days do we think
people As the days go on, the less likely some
of these people who have been in pretty dire straits
have an ability to survive.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That's a really tough call. That's yeah, that's that's really
hard to say. They would have to do with the
living conditions of each case. You and I may have
plenty of food for you know, days at our home,
but it's time that it's really unlikely to determine, you
know what other people may or may not have.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
The governor had set up the North Carolina Disaster Relief
that's nc dot gov forward Slash Relief. We encourage people
to give. The need is great. Femas on the scene
doing what it can. The government's cooperating with the state
agencies and of course, we've got a lot of volunteers,
we've got a lot of National Guard, we've got a
(24:33):
lot of military on the ground, and need a lot
of prayers today. Scott, appreciate your reporting all week long.
Thanks for joining us, Thanks for having all right again.
That death till now one hundred and thirty two, with
some six hundred one thousand still unaccounted for. In other news, uh,
the Israeli troops began that incursion and ground movement in Lebanon. Again,
(24:59):
the A targeting Hasblah targets in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, you've
got Hesbelah saying we're going to engage these troops. There
hasn't been much engage in engagement yet. The encouraged incursion
follows weeks of heavy blows by Israel against Hasbelah, including
air strikes that killed seven of its highest ranking officials.
(25:22):
It's been very surgical. The last time Israel has Bela
engaged in ground camp combat was a month long war
that took place in two thousand and six. So there
are a lot of talking heads that are looking at
this and saying, you know, this was a month long
effort in two thousand and six. Will it be a
(25:43):
month or longer this time than others are saying. No,
it's a much different situation. You know, probably the most
interesting part about this and telling part of this is Lebanon.
You're not hearing much from Lebanon itself as if they're
appreciating this surgical removal of Hesbelah from its country. But
(26:07):
you know, there are many who have argued this is necessary,
and this is common, and this is secular almost in
that terrorists. You know, war in general is means mode
of an opportunity. When you're dealing with radical Islamist Shia jihadists,
(26:27):
they're always on the offensive. And so if they see
enough weakness, if they see enough opportunity, they will always
be on the offensive. So they always engage first with
acts of terror. This we're coming up on the one
year anniversary of the invasion of Israel and the over
thousand killed, raped and tortured and taken and kidnapped. This
(26:51):
is what Israel does for the protection of its people,
and it kicks the can back now in that the
strategicness of that becomes should this have been first or last?
And we had in between walkie talkies blowing up, you know,
(27:12):
mobile phones blowing up. These were all very surgical. So
you have a proxy war with radical Islamists under the
umbrella of Iran. Iran's got the Ayatolin hiding. There's been
no retaliation from Iran yet, and Israel continues to surgically
eliminate the threats of Hamas and Hesbelah, whether it's within
the Palestinian territory in the case of Hamas or Hesbelah
(27:35):
in Lebanon. So the big question is is this an escalation.
I think it's necessary and closer to the end and
the result and better later than never. Meanwhile, our president
doesn't seem to be doing anything to stop it, but
(27:56):
speaking against it. And that's a political position in a
military position. So that eminent ground war in Lebanon has
begun with Israeli troops on the ground and has belat
question is will it take a month. They've already made
far more gains prior to the land operations for anyone
(28:18):
to prognosticate it'll take a month to finish the strategic
planning and operations on the ground in Lebanon. But we'll
keep an eye on that. The VEEP debate is tonight.
Microphones will not be silenced, the room will be empty,
and you will have a very liberal governor from Minnesota
against a very conservative senator from Ohio. And the question
(28:41):
is will there be some unfinished business from the presidential debate?
Will they're focus beyond each other or on the tops
of their ticket? And then the biggest question is will
this have any impact on an already close race? And
then polling numbers suggest a close race that is breaking
more and more Donald Trump's way, and that polling from
(29:04):
yesterday shows in all the swing states donald Trump gaining.
The only bad news for Donald Trump was Nevada, where
apparently he trails by one point three percent, but does
he because of the way he underpolls. But leading by
two in Arizona, leading by point two in Pennsylvania, leading
by point six in North Carolina, and leading by one
(29:26):
point four in Georgia, Georgia and North Carolina. Key for
the roadmap for Donald Trump, one or both of Arizona
and Nevada. Key, But you're looking at Wisconsin now down
to under one percentage point, Michigan at one point four percent?
Is this looking more like the twenty sixteen map more
and more every day. Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott
(29:49):
Hamilton and my morning show is Your Morning Show with
Michael Del Jordan. Robin wrote, I don't think anyone argues
that Pete Rose belongs to the Hall of Fame by
his stats alone. The reason he's not in is because
he actually bet on games that he was managing, not
just that he bet. Yeah, and really, if you want
to get technical, it's because he denied it for so
(30:09):
long and lied about it. But Baseball had a chance
to put him in the Hall of Fame before his death,
and now it's too late, and for a lot of people,
including me, that's going to create a disdain for Major
League Baseball for many, many years to come. Now it's
too late. Jimmy Carter turns one hundred today, we have
(30:31):
the wild card beginning in Major League Baseball, and of
course the death tolls up to one hundred and thirty
two now with Hurricane Helene, and it continues to rise,
especially in the Western Carolinas. And big deep debate tonight
and a from Maine to Texas port workers strike. Oh,
there's a lot to talk about. With White House correspondent
John Decker, let's start with the debate. I have a feeling.
(30:53):
If Joe Biden continues to not intervene and this port
strike carries out for days weeks, that may be the
October surprise, not the outcome of this debate tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
What say you, I agree?
Speaker 11 (31:06):
You know this is not good, not good happening exactly
five weeks away from election day and Joe Biden has
said he's not going to intervene. He could do so,
he could call for a ninety day cooling off period.
He has that power as President of the United States.
But he says he believes in collective bargaining. But both
sides apparently very far apart as far as coming to
(31:28):
an agreement, and that is not a good thing when
you are the incumbent party and you're hoping to hold
on to the White House.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So it begs the question, is this Union Joe standing
strong with the union workers or is this bitter Joe
getting back at those who threw him in a trunk?
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Well, look, you know, I mean the union stuck with
him until the bitter end. I can tell you that
because up until the last week that he was still
the presumptive Democratic nominee, he was still making those in
person visits with a lot.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Of unions, to the Teamsters. I went with him to
the Teamsters, to.
Speaker 11 (32:03):
The AFLCIO, I went with him to their headquarters. So
the labor stood by him, and the head of the
union that represents these long shortmen actually endorsed Joe Biden
in twenty twenty, So I think he's sticking by those unions.
That being said, that may not be.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
A good thing. You know, when you're talking.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
About a strike that could impact well, you put a
lot of Americans.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
In terms of the supply chain.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh absolutely, and you could kick the can easily till
past election. Danny's choosing not might be one of those
all of the aboves that I used to guess at
in college. All right, let's talk about this debate tonight.
My final take on it is you're looking for a
really good moment. You're looking to avoid a really bad moment.
We could talk all day about who might be more
likely to have a good moment or a bad moment,
but really doesn't matter. We just got to watch and see.
(32:51):
Question is good moments bad moments. No matter what moments,
is it going to really move the dial at all
in a close race.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Doubtful?
Speaker 11 (32:59):
Doubtful. You're talking about a vice presidential debate, not a
presidential debate. Sixty seven million people, Michael, you know this,
They watched that presidential debate in Philadelphia back on September
the tenth. I think that CBS will be lucky if
half of that many viewers tuned in to watch tonight's debate.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's the thirty five I'm going to say thirty.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Five million presidents are running bates.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I'm going to say thirty five million tops, And it
wouldn't shock me for the thirty high twenties.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
What do you think, Yeah, I think it's less than that. Actually,
you know, I mean, let's I do.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
We'll see. We'll see he's right when we talk tomorrow.
Speaker 11 (33:34):
But in any case, yeah, you don't want to mess
up anything. If you're Jade Vans or Tim Walls, you
want to hold your own and say I help my
own and you go home and you did your one debate.
That's all that will happen as far as vice president
is concerned. This election cycle like most election cycles, and
you know, we'll see if there are any moments that
(33:55):
get played by you over and over, you know, over
the course of the next few news cycles of that thing.
That jd Vance want to avoid.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, because that's what's going to reach more people than
the actual live debate. There'll be no microphones, but they'll
be in a quiet room. Tim's a pretty out there
guy Seren night live shows. They like to make fun
of him more than JD. But it'll be interesting to
see if they have their little side fights or if
they keep it focused on the top of the ticket.
I think jd Vance has the tougher task. I know
the media is like liking to say it's JD because
(34:26):
he's so unlikable or off to such a rough start,
but I think it's more Tim Walls. He just he
likes to be liberal. He likes to go far left.
Let's see if he can answer the economy question better
than Kamala has refused to. But that's why we watch
and we'll talk about it tomorrow. John. Appreciate your reporting.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Michael, We're all in this together. This is your morning

A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Because we're in the stupid This is your Morning Show

Speaker 1 (00:34):
The aeron streaming live, on your Heart radio app and
on the air in a new city. I left my heart.
I hit that note earlier off the air. I don't
even want to attempt it on the air. Wasn't even sharp.
We're flat to right on the money earlier, perfect pitch.
Can't do it when I'm live the all New Knew
(00:54):

Welcome to the Your Morning Show family. We appreciate adding
San Francisco to our list of many many cities, and
of course, you can listen worldwide, anytime, anywhere, on the
iHeart app all right if you're just waking up. FEMA
working to deliver food and water as search and rescue
continues in North Carolina. The death toll has now risen
(01:15):
to one hundred and thirty two, at least six hundred
to one thousand people still unaccounted for, which has many
believing that that death toll could rise tremendously in the
days ahead. As time continues to pass. Some two million
without power throughout the Southeast, still about over four hundred
thousand in North Carolina alone, and then to add to
(01:37):
that from Maine to Texas, port workers of what have
gone on strike. I have made many comments about the
political implications. Is this the October surprise? Forget the vice
presidential debate tonight? Could this be the decider in a
very tight election? But our talk back button tells us
some people heard something else. Let's hear. Oh did I
(02:00):
on that? I didn't mean to Oops.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The fourth carrier, Sprint, Verizon AT and T, T Mobile
and Sprint are the four main carriers in the United States.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, I thought you were going to play the one
the guy that thinks we took sides against the UH
that same gentleman. Sorry, it was the same name. By
the way, AT and T and T Mobile are the
same now, so I don't know if that's true. Yeah,
you still only have three if aha.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, make those indentured servants.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Get back to work.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I can't believe what side of this argument you guys
are taking. And you call yourself conservative carrier. We are starving,
we are barely making our mortgage while companies report record profits.
Obviously something has to give. Whose side are you on
(02:58):
the country or corporate?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
First of all, there's a lot of people struggling in
this economy. There's a lot of people that are deeply
in debt and barely getting by and barely struggling to
make their mortgage. We have a housing crisis, we have
an economic crisis. We have a price of living cost
of living crisis, we have a border crisis. There's a
lot of people suffering. Nobody took any sides. We tried
to lay out what's at stake here. I don't think
(03:22):
it's money alone to the point, and I'm not arguing
first so I don't like to hear anybody suffering. I
don't like to hear anybody struggling to make a wage.
So I get your side of the argument, and I
also hear their side of the argument. They came with
the money. The problem is the automation, and the automation
(03:43):
is going to replace jobs. So they're clearly not interested
in just making more money for those who survive. They
want to protect jobs as well. I get their side
of the argument. I'm not taking a side on that
at all. That's what needs to be negotiating. I do
on thing I discussed was I find it interesting that
Joe Biden is not going to intervene the taft Hardly
(04:08):
would hardly would allow at least a cooling off period
that would take you past the election. I mean so,
I mean, I think you know it's one thing is
out of that's conjecture. No, why is Joe Biden? And
it doesn't mean he'll stick to it. He could change
his mind, but right now, why on earth would he
(04:30):
allow this to go on? I can't think of anybody
who wouldn't prognosticate that's it. That's the October surprise and
an election that is already raised her close and falling
away from her and towards Donald Trump, an economic crisis,
(04:52):
and if this looms for days, I got a email message.
This particular person has customers in fifty eight countries and
they've got a truck that's supposed to ship out of
Spain on Friday. He's saying the impact is immediate. Well,
I get immediate, but I'm talking if this goes multiple
(05:13):
days into weeks, you got ships that are just going
to return home. Now you have a major disruption, a
COVID like disruption in the supply line. And if it
goes on for months, you've got a real crisis. So
the only thing I commented on, and I'm not taking
(05:35):
sides either way, is if they can't work this out
and the President isn't going to intervene, this could be
a deciding factor in the election. Will be We're all
ready with interest rates just starting to come down, but
home ownership is a crisis. Inflation and cost of living
(05:57):
is a crisis. It's technically cost of living because if
you get into inflation, the numbers are getting closer to
two percent. But now we're getting the job loss. I mean,
it's a mess, but this would be a house of
cards if it plays out.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I understand there are points to be made on both sides.
I don't think it's a true test of conservativism to
back unions. But I digres. I mean I have compassion,
and that's for your leaders to negotiate with their leaders.
But the notion that a president of the United States
whose vice president is running for office in less than
(06:37):
five weeks would allow this strike and the impact of
this strike to actually take place prior to an election,
it's got to have you scratch your head and say, uh,
what's going on here?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's if they stick to this path. They could change,
but it would decide the election, and there'd be a
world to hurt for all of Americans and a lot
of job loss for all Americans, not just job losses
due to automation. So we welcome any opportunity to clarify.
We also welcome criticism. But I did not take any side.
(07:13):
In fact, the only side I took was the political angle.
This could be the big October surprise that decides the election.
We also had the Bookie callback. We have a Your
Morning Show Bookie. We follow the electoral college map. He
follows the betting lines, among other things.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
A'll follow up. Those ships could stay for months. There's
no bananas on those votes. There's medical supplies, blood, frozen food.
They're checked every hour. If there's any issues, they will
head home. Is there anything he doesn't know?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
No, he's well read, as we like to say. We
got new polls yesterday. I do this disclaimer. I'm gonna
do it really quick. I know some of you don't
believe in polls. They're supposed to give you a snapshot
of where Americans are today. Oftentimes they used to manipulate
and get you where they want you to be on
election day. We also have a problem.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Donald Trump supporters are undersampled and unheard because they don't
trust the people doing the polls, so they won't talk
to them. Poles have other problems. They have a hard
time getting a hold of people now because nobody has
on phones and people just don't answer their mobile phone,
just like they don't really go to their mailbox much
anymore because it's usually just junk if they don't know
(08:31):
who it is. So polings has its challenges, but they're
never off that much. And what do the polls show.
They show a very close race, but they show a
race that is breaking Donald Trump's way. Yesterday we got
new polling information from key swing states in Arizona, donald
(08:51):
Trump leads now by zero point one or by two percent,
rather two points. In Arizona and Nevada, he now trails
by one point three percent. In Wisconsin, he trails by
zero point eight percent. Remember we talk about how Donald
Trump under polls. If he's down less than one percent,
is he really up to Michigan Harris leads by one
(09:15):
point four percent. But again, these are the kind of
numbers Michigan and Wisconsin had in twenty sixteen when Donald
Trump took both. Most troubling for the Democrats. Pennsylvania has
shifted Donald Trump at forty eight point one percent, Kamala
Harris at forty seven point nine percent, Trump up by
zero point two percent. Then we talked about how important
(09:36):
North Carolina and Georgia are. Donald Trump must have them
to put himself in a position to victory. He leads
in North Carolina by zero point six percent, and he
leads in Georgia by one point four percent. Take that poll,
and I'm not saying you should, but take that poll.
By the way, the only bad news for Donald Trump
was in Nevada, where he still trails by one point
three percent. But if we took this and put it
(09:58):
to the electoral college map. Go ahead and give Kamala
Harris Nevada, give the president former president Donald Trump, Arizona.
Give Kamala Harris Wisconsin and Michigan as she leads by
less than two tenths. But if you flip Pennsylvania and
North Carolina and Georgia hold, Donald Trump gets two hundred
(10:20):
ninety four electoral votes to Kamala Harris as two hundred
and forty four. And if either Michigan or Wisconsin should flip,
I don't have to tell you it's now a landslide.
Donald Trump's over three hundred and if Nevada were to
hang on for Donald Trump in addition to one of
those states three hundred and ten to two twenty eight,
somebody even call that a landslide. Maybe not as close
(10:40):
as you think, and certainly more paths for Donald Trump.
So what does that put at stake tonight with a
big vice presidential debate, Probably not a lot. I mean
my take on this is, I don't think there's anybody
undecided in America that's gonna say I can't decide. If
you can't decide between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, you're
either paralyzed by identity politics or personality politics, because it
(11:04):
certainly can't be policies. They couldn't be more different. And
I doubt you're gonna watch tonight and go well. Tim
made the difference. For me, I'm gonna go Kamala. What
I do think tonight could do is make those that
support Donald Trump feel even better about that support, feel
vindicated from a poor performance in Donald Trump's debate compared
(11:25):
to a good performance tonight build some energy which could
impact turnout. And I think if Tim Walls does good,
it could make people that are really holding their nose
in supporting Kamala Harris feel a little less grip on
their nostrils and feel better about their vote. But I
don't think it's going to sway anybody. A strike of
(11:47):
dock workers from Maine to Texas and the impact on
the economy that could and could potentially be the October surprise,
And that's what I think this morning. You got the
talkback button for what you think? You got my email
Michael di Atiheartmedia dot com and you can also call
one eight hundred six eight eight ninety five twenty two.
(12:08):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuona.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Michael, Good morning, It's Woody. Hey, no worries. That brilliant Kamala.
She'll jump in there. She's a mastering negotiator. She'll get
this resolved in no.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Time at all. Yeah, right, she only Paul business.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
You might be on the subthence, there's something about this
Joe taking no action. It's been reported he's got animosity
and bitterness how this all went down, and this could
be him throwing her under the bus.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
What do you call him from the Phoenix area. Yeah,
that that to me is what stinks to I have it. Look,
it has been Joe Biden's ambition his entire life to
be president. He would have liked to have been when
he was plagiarizing. He doesn't like the way he got
hit in a basement to get it this way, and
then how he got forced out. If he doesn't step in,
this is the October surprise that will keep Kamala Harris
(13:06):
from getting the White House. This strike in an already inflationary,
high cost of living struggling economy could be potentially devastating,
by the way, if you're just waking up. In addition
to that, strike. We got the vice presidential debate tonight,
and all eyes still on North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene
is now being blamed for at least one hundred and
(13:28):
thirty two deaths, still some six hundred to one thousand
unaccounted for. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said the damage
is extensive in his state.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Today, we did an aerial overview to see the damage
here in western North Carolina, and it is extensive and devastating.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
More than four hundred thousand people in North Carolina alone
among the two million throughout the southeast still without power.
FEMA Administrator Diane Criswell, so they're doing all they can
to help.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
So far, we have over twelve under personnel from across
the federal family supporting the response efforts. That includes things
like our search and rescue teams, our medical teams from
Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I wasn't excited about candidates for a presidential election using
tragedy for campaigning. One did it a little better than others.
Donald Trump was in Georgia as he tries to help
Georgians recover from Hurricane Helen. Lisa Taylor has those details.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
The former president was in Valdosta in the southern part
of the state with supplies into We're.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Working with the people in North Carolina now to get
them hooked up for communication.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
And in the meantime, we're at Bell Dausta and going.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
We're with the mayor and the concressm and everybody else.
We've brought a lot of supplies.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Trump says he knows many thousands or without power and
he hopes he can help. He said he spoke with
Elon Musk and he's working to get him to get
his Starlink internet system up and running so people can
stay connected. Trump added he's putting politics aside for the
time being. I'MI se Taylor.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Let's get it out.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Time to get it on.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
JD.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Vance and Tim Wallas will stwear off and the vice
presidential debate tonight. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
Former President Trump has high hopes for his VP pick.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
I think Jad's going to the greatest.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
First five guys done a great job. People like him
a lot.
Speaker 12 (15:17):
This ninety minute face off will be the VP candidates
one and only debate. Walls, the Democratic governor of Minnesota,
and Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, have been prepping
for the debate for the last couple of weeks. There
will be no audience, but there will be open microphones.
The CBS hosted event starts at nine pm Eastern. I'm
mart Nayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Nobody got more hits than Charlie Hussel, and he's not
in the Hall of Fame as Major League Baseball's in
bed with gaming. Talk about hypocrisy, and now it's too late.
Pete Rose has died at eighty three. Chris Carragio has
our story.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Baseball's hit King Pete Rose has died at the age
of eighty three.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
He passed away today at his home in Las Vegas.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Rose accumulated forty two hundred and fifty six hits over
a career that spanned twenty four seasons. He was banned
from baseball after it was determined that he bet on games.
Rose played most of his career for his hometown Cincinnati Reds,
but also spend time with the Phillies and Expos. Rose
returned to Cincinnati, where he finished his career as a
player manager. He was a seventeen time All Star. He
(16:13):
won three World Series and was the nineteen seventy three MVP.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
They say days are long, but life is short. Days
are long. Can you believe it's October? And what a
busy way to start the month. Here's bree Tennis.
Speaker 13 (16:27):
The new month starts out with National Taco Day. That's
thanks to Taco Bell moving it to the first Tuesday
in October. Today is also National Pumpkins Spice Day, perhaps
a latte in your future, which officially kicks off the
fall season, although Starbucks launched their PSL drinks.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
Back in August.
Speaker 13 (16:43):
And to top it all off, today is National Homemade
Cookie Day, so we're gonna need you to get busy
in the kitchen. I'm pre Tennis, sure.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I needed cookie all right? Monday Night Football had a
double header last night. Titans won the first one thirty
one twelve over the Dolphins. Seahawks fell to the Alliance
forty two to twenty nine. Ball No Diamondbacks. They split
that doubleheader yesterday, so the Mets and the Braves Advance
Brewers will host the Mets Padres, the Braves, Tigers, Astros
Royal Zo's as Major League Baseball Wildcard Playoffs begin today. Hi,
(17:14):
I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every weekday
morning to your Morning show Live. Even take us along
with you on the drive to work. We can be
heard on great radio stations like one oh four ninth
The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety eight
point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News
Talk five fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine. But we're
always grateful you're here. Now enjoyed the podcast. By the way,
(17:37):
we would like to welcome I loved my hat and
now I found it again the All New Knew nine
sixty AM. I heard sports Talking more in San Francisco.
Welcome to the your morning show family. Here's our commitment
to you. We inform you I like to think that
we look at the top stories of every day from
(17:58):
some of the most unique and inter angles. We make
a promise We're not going to tell you how to think.
There's enough talking points and narratives out there. We live
in the divided States of America, caught up in a matrix.
You don't need more narrative repeating. We're going to look
at the stories honestly allow you to come to your
own conclusions. So we assist you in journeys of real
(18:18):
discovery and understanding. But we hope you like the show
and if you do, help share it with friends. Now,
if you're just waking up, Jimmy Carter turns one hundred today,
Pete Rose has passed away at eighty three. It had
been my hope that Major League Baseball would put this
man in the Hall of Fame while he was still alive.
You want to talk about hypocrisy, You can't watch a
baseball game without two gambling ads in every in between
(18:41):
any commercial break. Now it's too late. Pete Rose has
gone at the age of eighty three. Big VEEP debate tonight.
What do you think could have a bigger impact on
the outcome of this close election? A vice presidential debate
tonight or a port workers strike? I think it's the latter. Meanwhile,
FEMA working to deliver food and water as search and
(19:04):
rescue continues in North Carolina. The death toll has risen
those still on accounted for is high and with the
very latest Scott Kembler is joining us. Scott, good morning,
Good morning. All right, where do we start? We wanted
to improve communications. By the way, did you ever figure
out because I had somebody on the talkback button say, oh,
Sprint is the fourth carrier, but Sprint and T Mobile
(19:27):
are the same, So I still only have three that
I can think of, Verizon, AT and T and T Mobile?
Which one was the fourth? Was it Sprint? And we're
counting them as two.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I can't think right off that I believe we Yeah,
I believe we are accounting them as too. They're the
same entity overall, but they're there are separate operations.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
All right. So they set up temporary towers. That's going
to assist in many ways restoring communication. How's it working?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So? For off, what I understand it is people are
able to get alerts on their cell phones and people
are also able to call out. Case in point, I
have two relatives that live up there, and I was
in contact with one of my siblings yesterday and he
had actually talked to the other two, but they had
been unheard of for a couple of days. But he
(20:17):
was supposed that he was able to reach them both yesterday.
And that's because sell service in that particular area, which
is Spruce Pine, had been restored, so us learning that
they were okay. This is going to be the case
across the board that people are learning about the condition
of people that have been cut off for several days
(20:39):
at this point. So improving a communication there with the
satellite trucks of the temporary towers is a great improvement
in both getting help to the people, but also people
are learning authorities that they do need help.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Twenty four hours ago we began the show with the
death toll at ninety one. It rose tonight before the
end of the show. Now it's at one hundred and
thirty two. Just how high could this go?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Well, sadly, we have fifty six in North Carolina and
that is likely to continue to climb. And this is
largely in part due to the people who have been
isolated for such an amount of time. We're talking since Friday,
that some of these people have been isolated, and now
that now that they are just able to get to
(21:28):
some of these areas and more every day, sadly, they
are learning that more people have perished on the upside.
This also means that they are reaching people who they
thought perhaps may have but did survive and are now
getting the help that they needed.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
All Right, we brought in the National Guard and military support,
and what have they been spending most of their efforts doing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Well, the National Guard has been doing a lot in
bringing food into the area and water and as well
as basic need commodities and establishing these service areas around
the greater Ashville area and helping with that. But also
the National Guard is brought in makeshift bridges. I'm not
(22:19):
sure exactly how it works, not being an engineer, but
these roads that have been wiped away, and in some
cases bridges that have been wiped away, they have military
bridges that they can set up relatively quickly, certainly faster
than constructing one. And the roads that they could not
get up before, they're finding that they can get up
now because they've been able to put in these temporary
(22:42):
bridges to do so.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Scott Kembler covering Asheville, North Carolina, and Augusta, Georgia, still
reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helen. I have seen
news reports of six hundred you've reported as many as
one thousand still unaccounted for. How much communications help get
that number down versus literally getting searching homes one by
(23:05):
one to sort.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Of help tremendously because they're able to send out the
use alerts like when you get an Amber alert on
your phone or a leadized call or what have you.
They're able to do the same now and say, you know, hey,
we're looking for people in this region, and this gives
an opportunity for people to respond, which should greatly reduce
the number of people who are unaccounted for at this time.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I guess the last question is the grimmest. Right now,
it's search and recovery. At what point does it just
become recovery? I mean, how many days do we think
people As the days go on, the less likely some
of these people who have been in pretty dire straits
have an ability to survive.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That's a really tough call. That's yeah, that's that's really
hard to say. They would have to do with the
living conditions of each case. You and I may have
plenty of food for you know, days at our home,
but it's time that it's really unlikely to determine, you
know what other people may or may not have.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
The governor had set up the North Carolina Disaster Relief
that's nc dot gov forward Slash Relief. We encourage people
to give. The need is great. Femas on the scene
doing what it can. The government's cooperating with the state
agencies and of course, we've got a lot of volunteers,
we've got a lot of National Guard, we've got a
(24:33):
lot of military on the ground, and need a lot
of prayers today. Scott, appreciate your reporting all week long.
Thanks for joining us, Thanks for having all right again.
That death till now one hundred and thirty two, with
some six hundred one thousand still unaccounted for. In other news, uh,
the Israeli troops began that incursion and ground movement in Lebanon. Again,
(24:59):
the A targeting Hasblah targets in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, you've
got Hesbelah saying we're going to engage these troops. There
hasn't been much engage in engagement yet. The encouraged incursion
follows weeks of heavy blows by Israel against Hasbelah, including
air strikes that killed seven of its highest ranking officials.
(25:22):
It's been very surgical. The last time Israel has Bela
engaged in ground camp combat was a month long war
that took place in two thousand and six. So there
are a lot of talking heads that are looking at
this and saying, you know, this was a month long
effort in two thousand and six. Will it be a
(25:43):
month or longer this time than others are saying. No,
it's a much different situation. You know, probably the most
interesting part about this and telling part of this is Lebanon.
You're not hearing much from Lebanon itself as if they're
appreciating this surgical removal of Hesbelah from its country. But
(26:07):
you know, there are many who have argued this is necessary,
and this is common, and this is secular almost in
that terrorists. You know, war in general is means mode
of an opportunity. When you're dealing with radical Islamist Shia jihadists,
(26:27):
they're always on the offensive. And so if they see
enough weakness, if they see enough opportunity, they will always
be on the offensive. So they always engage first with
acts of terror. This we're coming up on the one
year anniversary of the invasion of Israel and the over
thousand killed, raped and tortured and taken and kidnapped. This
(26:51):
is what Israel does for the protection of its people,
and it kicks the can back now in that the
strategicness of that becomes should this have been first or last?
And we had in between walkie talkies blowing up, you know,
(27:12):
mobile phones blowing up. These were all very surgical. So
you have a proxy war with radical Islamists under the
umbrella of Iran. Iran's got the Ayatolin hiding. There's been
no retaliation from Iran yet, and Israel continues to surgically
eliminate the threats of Hamas and Hesbelah, whether it's within
the Palestinian territory in the case of Hamas or Hesbelah
(27:35):
in Lebanon. So the big question is is this an escalation.
I think it's necessary and closer to the end and
the result and better later than never. Meanwhile, our president
doesn't seem to be doing anything to stop it, but
(27:56):
speaking against it. And that's a political position in a
military position. So that eminent ground war in Lebanon has
begun with Israeli troops on the ground and has belat
question is will it take a month. They've already made
far more gains prior to the land operations for anyone
(28:18):
to prognosticate it'll take a month to finish the strategic
planning and operations on the ground in Lebanon. But we'll
keep an eye on that. The VEEP debate is tonight.
Microphones will not be silenced, the room will be empty,
and you will have a very liberal governor from Minnesota
against a very conservative senator from Ohio. And the question
(28:41):
is will there be some unfinished business from the presidential debate?
Will they're focus beyond each other or on the tops
of their ticket? And then the biggest question is will
this have any impact on an already close race? And
then polling numbers suggest a close race that is breaking
more and more Donald Trump's way, and that polling from
(29:04):
yesterday shows in all the swing states donald Trump gaining.
The only bad news for Donald Trump was Nevada, where
apparently he trails by one point three percent, but does
he because of the way he underpolls. But leading by
two in Arizona, leading by point two in Pennsylvania, leading
by point six in North Carolina, and leading by one
(29:26):
point four in Georgia, Georgia and North Carolina. Key for
the roadmap for Donald Trump, one or both of Arizona
and Nevada. Key, But you're looking at Wisconsin now down
to under one percentage point, Michigan at one point four percent?
Is this looking more like the twenty sixteen map more
and more every day. Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott
(29:49):
Hamilton and my morning show is Your Morning Show with
Michael Del Jordan. Robin wrote, I don't think anyone argues
that Pete Rose belongs to the Hall of Fame by
his stats alone. The reason he's not in is because
he actually bet on games that he was managing, not
just that he bet. Yeah, and really, if you want
to get technical, it's because he denied it for so
(30:09):
long and lied about it. But Baseball had a chance
to put him in the Hall of Fame before his death,
and now it's too late, and for a lot of people,
including me, that's going to create a disdain for Major
League Baseball for many, many years to come. Now it's
too late. Jimmy Carter turns one hundred today, we have
(30:31):
the wild card beginning in Major League Baseball, and of
course the death tolls up to one hundred and thirty
two now with Hurricane Helene, and it continues to rise,
especially in the Western Carolinas. And big deep debate tonight
and a from Maine to Texas port workers strike. Oh,
there's a lot to talk about. With White House correspondent
John Decker, let's start with the debate. I have a feeling.
(30:53):
If Joe Biden continues to not intervene and this port
strike carries out for days weeks, that may be the
October surprise, not the outcome of this debate tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
What say you, I agree?
Speaker 11 (31:06):
You know this is not good, not good happening exactly
five weeks away from election day and Joe Biden has
said he's not going to intervene. He could do so,
he could call for a ninety day cooling off period.
He has that power as President of the United States.
But he says he believes in collective bargaining. But both
sides apparently very far apart as far as coming to
(31:28):
an agreement, and that is not a good thing when
you are the incumbent party and you're hoping to hold
on to the White House.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So it begs the question, is this Union Joe standing
strong with the union workers or is this bitter Joe
getting back at those who threw him in a trunk?
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Well, look, you know, I mean the union stuck with
him until the bitter end. I can tell you that
because up until the last week that he was still
the presumptive Democratic nominee, he was still making those in
person visits with a lot.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Of unions, to the Teamsters. I went with him to
the Teamsters, to.
Speaker 11 (32:03):
The AFLCIO, I went with him to their headquarters. So
the labor stood by him, and the head of the
union that represents these long shortmen actually endorsed Joe Biden
in twenty twenty, So I think he's sticking by those unions.
That being said, that may not be.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
A good thing. You know, when you're talking.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
About a strike that could impact well, you put a
lot of Americans.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
In terms of the supply chain.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh absolutely, and you could kick the can easily till
past election. Danny's choosing not might be one of those
all of the aboves that I used to guess at
in college. All right, let's talk about this debate tonight.
My final take on it is you're looking for a
really good moment. You're looking to avoid a really bad moment.
We could talk all day about who might be more
likely to have a good moment or a bad moment,
but really doesn't matter. We just got to watch and see.
(32:51):
Question is good moments bad moments. No matter what moments,
is it going to really move the dial at all
in a close race.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Doubtful?
Speaker 11 (32:59):
Doubtful. You're talking about a vice presidential debate, not a
presidential debate. Sixty seven million people, Michael, you know this,
They watched that presidential debate in Philadelphia back on September
the tenth. I think that CBS will be lucky if
half of that many viewers tuned in to watch tonight's debate.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's the thirty five I'm going to say thirty.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Five million presidents are running bates.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I'm going to say thirty five million tops, And it
wouldn't shock me for the thirty high twenties.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
What do you think, Yeah, I think it's less than that. Actually,
you know, I mean, let's I do.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
We'll see. We'll see he's right when we talk tomorrow.
Speaker 11 (33:34):
But in any case, yeah, you don't want to mess
up anything. If you're Jade Vans or Tim Walls, you
want to hold your own and say I help my
own and you go home and you did your one debate.
That's all that will happen as far as vice president
is concerned. This election cycle like most election cycles, and
you know, we'll see if there are any moments that
(33:55):
get played by you over and over, you know, over
the course of the next few news cycles of that thing.
That jd Vance want to avoid.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, because that's what's going to reach more people than
the actual live debate. There'll be no microphones, but they'll
be in a quiet room. Tim's a pretty out there
guy Seren night live shows. They like to make fun
of him more than JD. But it'll be interesting to
see if they have their little side fights or if
they keep it focused on the top of the ticket.
I think jd Vance has the tougher task. I know
the media is like liking to say it's JD because
(34:26):
he's so unlikable or off to such a rough start,
but I think it's more Tim Walls. He just he
likes to be liberal. He likes to go far left.
Let's see if he can answer the economy question better
than Kamala has refused to. But that's why we watch
and we'll talk about it tomorrow. John. Appreciate your reporting.
