Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I'm Michael del JOHNO, and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on great stations like six
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or akrons, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:21):
Enjoy the podcast two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell john. It's
not like I heard just a hint of the careless whisper.
Never happened, No, but it's appropriate today because Barack Obama
had a big careless whisper at Pittsburgh. Hey, good morning,
seven minutes after the hour. It's Friday, October the eleventh.
(00:58):
You have about old twenty twenty four. You're gonna interrupt
with that obnoxious voice screaming Friday. Well here in the
old studios. You gotta wait to do that before you
can do this.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, it's right.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I don't know why I asked for it. That one
never hits home. But for our friends in Cleveland, they
get it all right. Welcome to Friday, October the eleventh,
twenty twenty four, on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is the show that belongs to you.
This is your morning show. We now we have one
chance to live this day, one chance to understand it,
one chance to get it. And we're going to make
the most of our time. And we appreciate yours. So
(01:31):
make us a part of your morning routine. Take us
along with you for the drive to work. This is
your morning show. I'm Michael. That's Jeffrey in the control room.
And unfortunately, the death toll now has risen to fourteen
after Hurricane Milton ravaged central Florida. Officials in Clearwater, Florida
say more than five hundred people were rescued from flooded
apartment complexes on Thursday, and again, most of those deaths
(01:54):
are associated to tornadic activity in the outer bands of Milton,
not necessarily Milton himself or storm search. Latest polling shows
Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in
the swing state of Michigan. Oh, habbo Michigan. I was
back in Michigan. We got a new Pennsylvania poll two
(02:18):
which I don't know why this isn't. Why is Michigan
making deadlines in Pennsylvania isn't. But the latest Hill Emerson
poll shows Donald Trump forty nine percent Harris forty eight percent.
We did those comparisons two days ago. You know, Donald
Trump was trailing Hillary by five in Pennsylvania and one
on to win Pennsylvania. So just you know, how underpolled
(02:41):
is Donald Trump as a rule, So if he's leading
by one, is he really leading by six? But in
the case of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, those are three swing
states that were decided by sixty thousand votes combined. So
you know, just ten thousand votes in a key suite
swing district precinct of these swing states can decide the
(03:04):
presidential election. We start getting into you know, hey, Hispanic
men aren't grooven on Kamala at all. That's where a
lot of the losses aren't for Hispanic women. They don't
like how much groceries are calling. Well, that is a
that's a chink and the key voting block, let alone,
(03:25):
how it plays out in these areas. That's why I
hope people didn't think I was being racist in any way.
That's why I made such a big deal out of
about a week and a half ago the polls that
suggested Kamala Harris was only carrying fifty two percent of
the black Islamic vote in Michigan. Are you kidding me
that alone could tip it? These are key voting blocks
(03:48):
for them today. You've got the Sean O'Brien, the Teamsters President.
Democrats have blanked us over for the last forty years.
You know, these are very, very troubling signs. Now, the
main anxiety should be, well, we know what the poll
said when we barely won in twenty twenty. We know
(04:11):
what the poll said when we thought we were going
to win and lost in twenty sixteen. And here we
are tied or down. Pennsylvania. Trump is up one. And
that's in two consistent polls, the Hill Emerson Pole as
well as the American Greatness Tip Pole, and both are
(04:31):
forty nine to forty eight. They've got Michigan in the
Hill Emerson Pole a tie. The Insider Advantage poll has
Trump actually leading in Michigan by two. Trump's leed in
Ohio is six or maybe as high as eight, depending
on whether you look at Washington Post or Marist. Wisconsin
(04:55):
is a tie. North Carolina Trump back up one. This
is of great concern that the lead in Georgia in
North Carolina is only one. I mean, if anything's got
Harris still in the game, potentially that's it. But nothing
(05:15):
else is looking good for her, and it looks an
awful lot like the twenty sixteen map. Trump's lead in
Arizona and I was back up to two Florida. I
remember we talked a long time ago about they have
marijuana and abortion bills on the ballot. That was intentional.
(05:37):
Let's try to get some energy because remember, if the
Democrats show up with the same voter turnout as Republicans,
they win every time because there's more of them, not
like it used to be. In Pennsylvania, we did that
study a couple of days ago. The lead in registered
voters is down from nine hundred thousand to three hundred
thousand in Pennsylvania. Really makes what Donald Trump overcame in
(06:03):
twenty sixteen pretty remarkable and the lifting won't be as
heavy this time around. But we thought, you know, they
can't find any energy in Joe Biden. They since it
made the switch to Kambala Harris, they're not finding much
energy there. Would they find it in abortion and in marijuana?
(06:24):
And Florida. Trump is still leading by four Texas, remember
where they used to say Texas is turn of Purple.
Trump by seven. And there are some Senate seats that
have gotten really tight and two that are over So
there's no way the Democrats are going to have control
of the Senate. The question is, well, the Republicans have
(06:46):
controlled the Senate by one or more. I can't believe
I'm going to say this, but an Ohio Senate race
that I thought for sure Marina would never catch Brown
Brown is like, well like brown, the name brown in Cleveland.
I mean, that's a pretty famous name. And that lead
(07:06):
is down to one, and then I believe in the
Marist poll the lead is down to two. Is that
Senate seat in ohioan play? And we go down a
list of others. I said, I thought, I thought the
Republicans should come out. I mean, obviously, the worst they're
(07:28):
going to do is be up one in the Senate.
But I said, I think it would be closer to three.
Starting to look that way. No chance of taking the House,
so Republicans will control the House in the Senate. Hey, gang,
that's all I really wanted period, But that can change
in two years in a midterm election. So you know,
the presidency matters too, of course. But it's looking good
(07:49):
for Donald Trump. It's looking really bad for Kamala Harris.
And what did they do yesterday? Oh, they had to
clean up old Knucklehead on Aisle three. Knucklehead. Yeah, well,
you know, I knucklehea is. We had two knucklehead moments,
one from Knucklehead himself and the other from his wife
singing his theme song that was just downright creepy. These
are the people that determine, you know, what's weird. Right,
(08:13):
maybe we all look weird because they really are weird,
and Saray NightLive agrees with us, but no, they you know,
obviously Knucklehead wanted to remove the electoral college map. This,
by the way, is something that Kamala Harris back in
her failed run for presidency in nineteen said she was
(08:34):
open to. And of course that's when they were all
lathered up because Hilary didn't win. Anybody that is foolish
enough to bring up this notion simply doesn't believe and
everyone being represented simply doesn't believe in anything other than
mob rules. You would have literally three or four states
(08:56):
to side every president, not to mention, you would never
have a Republican probably president again. So obviously the Harris
camp had to distance themselves from the knucklehead camp and
have a little cleanup on Nile three. P did he
got his trial date and Ethel Kennedy passed away at
the age of ninety six. I guess that's the last
(09:18):
one from the Bobby and Jack era. Ethel amazing motherhood
story had eleven children raised all of them after her
husband Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. She died at the
age of ninety six, suffered a stroke and then later
passed away in the hospital. Just an extraordinary long life
(09:40):
and obviously the mother of RFK Junior, and our thoughts
the prayers are with the family in this time of morning.
Sports wise, Yankees advanced to the Alcs winning over Kansas
City last night. They await the winner of the Guardians
and the Tigers because the the Guardians forced a Game
(10:01):
five and the San Francisco forty nine ers took back
over the lead in the NFC West by beating Seattle
last night thirty six to twenty four. We have a
lot of games last night San Francisco and Seattle, two
cities of your morning show battling it out. We got
several of those this weekend where our cities are going
head to head. I gotta be careful how I talk
(10:23):
about them. We have the Commanders in the Ravens. We
have the Cardinals and the Packers. We have the Browns
and the Eagles, the Lions and the Cowboys, Saints in
the Bucks. I don't know what. I think the best
game is either going to be probably the Packers and
(10:43):
the Cardinals. But oh, the Commanders in the Ravens. What
a showdown in two cities forty five minutes away. Come
from to me if there was any I'm trying to
think who I would dread more than them? And I
know people probably gonna scream at the radio. The Vikings
are undefeated. Who's the other undefeated team?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Vikings in the Kansas City, Oh, Kansas City. Yeah, I mean,
I think I I got news for you. I got
players in fantasy football that are well.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I have a defense, the Ravens defense I didn't start him,
not against that offense. Commanders look really really good. Wouldn't
be funny if they got close to the playoffs and
said heck with it? Were the Redskins again. So a
lot of good matchups. They're college football. We got Arizona
State and Utah tonight. For those listening in Phoenix. Ohio
(11:35):
State and Oregon probably the best game because I don't
think that oh You can stay close in the Red
River rivalry with Texas Archie Manning and the number one
long Horns. That's going to be a tough test for
ou Tennessee as Florida Penn State has usc lsu Ole
miss is a good game now, I think it's hard
to top Ohio State and Oregon. What about Vanderbilt, Well,
(11:57):
they're just going to be interesting. They only have one
goal post and apparently only one good win left in them.
This is your Morning Show with Michael DELTONA early bird
gets the worm, lazy squirrel misses the nut. Here's your
top five stories of the day in twenty five After
the hour, all right, Unfortunately, the death toll has now
(12:18):
risen to fourteen after Hurricane Milton ravaged Florida. Officials in
Clearwater say more than five hundred people were rescued from
flooded apartment complexes at Milton Slam, Florida during its ongoing
already property insurance crisis. Tammy Trahuilo has more.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Florida Policy Project Manager Jeff Brandas says the storms expected
to cost some forty billion dollars in insurance claims.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
For citizens, they could have over one hundred thousand claims.
And frankly, because this thing ripped across the state during
the through the Eye for corner, you could be looking
at a million claims in the state of Florida, he says.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Milton is a significant event, and we'll put pressure on
companies to dig into their catastrophe funds. But it won't
bankrupt any businesses. If anything, he thinks it will put
pressure on companies to hold great steady next year. Weridians
pay four times the national average for property insurance. I'm
tammage for.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He Vice President Harris is telling supporters in Arizona why
it's important they get out and vote. More from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This will be a very tight race until the very end,
and we are the underdog.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Speaking of rally Thursday in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler.
Harris quinticized former President Trump for refusing to join her
for a second debate. She called Trump's decision a pretty
weak move. Early voting in the swing state of Arizona
began on Wednesday. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Meanwhile, Donald Trump made bad news is good news. Here's
Brian shook me all night long with our Road to
the White House. Road to the White House twenty twenty four.
Former President Trump is going after the Biden Harris administration
again on the economy after some poor reports. The Consumer
Price Index barometer of inflation rose more than expected Inseteptember,
(14:00):
and initial filings for unemployment benefits also unexpectedly turned higher
for last week.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Under Biden and Harris because of inflation, the economy has
been a total disaster, but Kamala says that she can't
think of one thing that she would do differently.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
At the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday, Trump chided the
White House for keeping inflation higher than when he was
in office. In Washington, I'm Brian Schook.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Did a Comb's federal sex trafficking trial. It begins next spring.
The date has been set. Lisa Taylor has.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
More during a hearing in New York Thursday. A judged
at the trial start day for May fifth. The music
in business Mogula is facing numerous federal charges. He was
arrested last month and will remain in custody while he
awaits the start of the trial after multiple attempts by
his lawyers to have him released were denied. Combe's faces
up to life in prison if found guilty. I'm Misee Taylor.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
A new study reveals more than fifteen and a half
million US adults have ADHD, and many find a difficult
getting medications they need to treat it. According to a
survey conducted by the CDC, six percent of adults have
a current diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Stimulants like
ridlin and adderall often prescribed to treat ADHD, but over
(15:17):
seventy one percent. By the way, I had a steak
last night. There was seventy one dollars, and let me
tell you something, it was worth every penny of it.
The view wasn't bad either, are you kid? We are
a lot of Americans are very very overweight, you know,
at least Andrey and I are kind of ashamed of it.
Why I should give you some of my ridlin. Oh
why what were we talking about pizzas? Right? I thought so? Anyway,
(15:39):
there are twelve National Pizza Days every year. Did you
know that Bree Tennis has the details on National sausage or,
as we say, Sazich Pizza.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
D Americans et about one hundred and eighty slices of
pizza a year, and there's many to choose from, from
simple cheese to pineapple on a pie. According to the
New York Pizza Department, is America's fourth favorite topping, but
today sausage is number one. So grab a pizza. You
know you want to, Actually you may have to. According
to the Yale Food Addiction Scale, pizza is the food
(16:12):
most associated with addiction. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
See what I did? I was doing an ADH story
and I just kind of wandered off. I just noticed
that I didn't. Wow, that's real comedy, right there. Yankee
Yankees three to one last night. I loved every minute
of it. They defeated the Royals three to one. They
advanced to the Alcs. Now who will they play? Guardians
pulled the bgs yesterday. Stay in Alive, Stay in Alive

winner of the Dodgers, who will be back home against

Speaker 11 (18:40):
Update? Trump nationally minus one a teamm She's plus one
twenty huge favorite nice app huge huge, Ohio very tight.
Republicly's lead minus one oh one, very tight. North Carolina
with minus one sixty two, Georgia minus one thirty two.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
We got both those dates. Let me tell you what
I's thinking. I'm thinking, you gotta find some value. So
I'm I'm thinking about suggesting, and I just looked over
the latest polling information, so I knew these numbers were
gonna change. I'm thinking of a three team parlay that's
gonna pay big. I'm going Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona in
(19:26):
a three team barlay. Then I'm gonna do a fourteen
teezer with Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Can you get juiced?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Not button money? Can you believe that? But seriously and
all right, this would be my common sense. I don't
know how it works. Polls, what good are they? All right?
Speaker 9 (19:50):
So?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Number one, are these polls accurate reflections of the right
sample size with no bias of odors today, which, by
the way, if it was that by tomorrow, it's obsolete. Right.
If it's a snapshot. We're giving polls today from yesterday
that's a snapshot from yesterday. It no longer exists today,
(20:11):
and it sure he doesn't tell us where we're going
to be in thirty days.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
To mention, you have a candidate that has proven to underpole.
Why because the people that love him most hate universities,
don't trust them, hate major networks and don't trust them,
hate newspapers and don't trust them. And that's who's calling.
They're not going to answer and they're not going to
tell you, especially when all you do is call them insurrectionists.
(20:38):
You know what I mean? This isn't rocket science. Can
I disagree? But if you look at the polls and
then apply that to the two seventy map, Donald Trump's
the next president today. But what are these betting odds?
Because casinos, you know, they want to have in a
perfect world, there's a million dollars on one side, a
(20:58):
million dollars on the and they make a hundred grand
every time. So I don't know if it's up to
minus eighteen one eighteen and plus one twenty because of
what they think is going to happen or what it
takes to get enough money. The same amount of money
on both sides, but both are pointing to Donald Trump
this morning, and what's driving that is the polling information.
(21:24):
So we kind of went over some of them for you,
but if you're just waking up, I don't want to
leave you out. Latest two poles from yesterday. One is
the Hill in Emerson, the other is an American Greatness Tippole.
Trump leads Pennsylvania in both poles by one. Michigan. The
Hill Emerson pole has Michigan a tie, but the Insider
(21:48):
Advantage poll has Trump actually leading, leading in Michigan by two. Translation, well,
this is more than he was leading any of these
states by in twenty sixteen that he wanted to win. Wisconsin, tie,
Hill Emerson and Insider Advantage. North Carolina Trump's back up
(22:08):
by one. That was a tie, and Georgia Trump's up
by one. Now, obviously the path for Donald Trump is
nearly impossible without North Carolina and Georgia. I mean, think
about all these states. They're all within one or two
these swing states. We use the analogy yesterday of a
weather guy from Tulsa that used to say anything anywhere
from a dusting to three feet of snow. Well, yeah,
(22:29):
you're bound to be right. This could go anyway from
a narrow victory for Kamala Harris to a landslide for
Donald Trump. But knowing how he underpolls, knowing where he
was in these states in elections he won, and then
in elections that he went on to lose, these numbers
would suggest he's not going to lose, and it might
(22:51):
be closer to the three feet of snow. This may
be why so many Democrats are anxious. This may be
why he said, is this whole grand bait and switch
gonna work? Look, if the Democrats didn't meddle with their primaries,
(23:12):
Bernie Sanders would have got the nomination twice. But they
meddled in twenty sixteen to make sure Hillary got it.
They meddled in twenty twenty and cut a deal in
South Carolina. Old Joe, who came in fourth in Iowa,
seventh in New Hampshire, ends up hiding in a basement,
getting the nomination and going on to win this time.
(23:32):
You can't run Kamala Harris. Nobody likes her, so you
run Joe. Then when you're ready for Joe to exit
stage left, you put him late night in a debate
with Trump without his medication. Let the whole thing blow up.
Speaker 12 (23:46):
You show him the door, force him out, take him
out at the knees, put tape over his mouth, throw
him in the trunk, and you give all of his
delegates to Kamala and she pulls off the Hollywood production
of the convention with her.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
By the way, speaking of with a teleprompter, she did
a town hall on Univision, and this is twice this
because this happened. I can't remember what the other one was,
where she was appearing in a talk show and when
the camera just kind of swung around, you can see
the teleprompter that she was reading from. She was reading
from a teleprompter in this Univision town hall, and it
(24:17):
sure looks like once the teleprompter was visible in the shot,
they cut from the shot real quick. But get her
away from a teleprompter and it's a pure disaster. Then
you had knucklehead in the picture, and you wonder why
they're all panicked. Well, speaking of panic to Barack Obama.
The two things with Barack Obama. One, he makes a
speech in Pittsburgh. It sounds like this this election is
(24:43):
gonna be tight.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Because there are a lot of Americans we're still struggling
out there so I get it why people are looking
to shake things up.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I mean, I am a hope he changed again. You
hit when you hit. Of course, the Democrats have been
leaving the country twelve of the last sixteen years, so
things are tough. They made him tough, and in particularly
the last four years was them. This isn't some new
candidate getting ready to run. This is Mama la Kamala.
(25:19):
But that's not the real story. No, the real story
is what was captured before his speaking event, Barack Obama
addressing black voters, and unfortunately it was recorded.
Speaker 10 (25:42):
That we had not.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yet seen the same kinds of energy and turned in
all words.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Can I interrupt? You just tell you though it's a
very very defensive suit and it just strapes beautifully on him.
I'd give anything to be that dead.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
So now.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I also want to say that that seems to be
more pronounced with the brothers.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
The brothers, So if you don't.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Mind, just for a second of her speed to y'all
right and say that when you haven't a choice, that
is this clean went. On one hand, you have somebody.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Who he's struggling. But I think what he wants to
say is white grew up like hi knows. Oh no,
all he's doing the ever verse. Okay, yeah, so here's
where he's going to say. What kind of a brother
wouldn't vote for Kamala who was one of us and
grew up like us, says Barackoma, whose neighborhood is ninety
(27:01):
nine percent white. I might add, where to college? Would you?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Under fans of the struggles and pay and joy that
comes from those experiences, said, work harder and do more.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And overcome and achieves the second highest office in money.
All right, So that is obviously despicably playing the race
card that is identity pod. Never mind you and a
(27:49):
government of buying for the people, never mind you, never
mind your family, never mind how their leadership and their
policies have all at your expense, never mind any of that.
All that matters is you're black, you're the brothers, and
(28:11):
she looks like you, grew up like you for goodness sakes.
Doesn't matter. If she's killing babies, doesn't matter, If she's
killing the economy, doesn't matter, if the open border has
given all of your resources to people that broke in
and not you, the citizens, never mind all that, Brothers,
look at her, She's black from our neighborhood. What's wrong
(28:37):
with you? Wonder how America you know this week alone
to just run as a commercial. Kamala Harris on the view,
is there anything you would have done differently than Joe Biden?
I can't think of anything, and maybe rotate this in
because nobody is more fed up with this nonsense than
(29:00):
Hispanic and Black voters.
Speaker 10 (29:04):
This is James from Greenwood, South Carolina, And my morning
show is your Morning show with Michael Dojorna.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Latest poll show Vice President Kamala Harris and former President
Donald Trump tied in Michigan, Trump leading in Wisconsin, Trump
leading in Pennsylvania. Oh, my trial day being set for
next spring for p Diddy. Ethyl Kennedy dies at the
age of ninety six. Our condolences to RFK Junior and
at least fourteen people are dead after Hurricane Milton ravaged
(29:33):
Florida's West coast. Some pretty amazing rescue took place in Clearwater,
where more than four to five hundred people were rescued
from flooded apartment complexes, and that impacts, by the way,
being the second hurricane to hit Florida in almost as
many weeks. The damage from Milton and Helene before that
(29:54):
expected to have a huge impact on the insurance industry.
And I know what a lot of you selfish people,
they're thinking, well, they chose to live in Florida. No,
we're talking about this could affect you even if you
live thousands of miles away from Florida. And Reale always
arrives with the bad news every morning. Here comes the cloud,
(30:14):
here's Aaron. Good morning, Aaron, glad.
Speaker 13 (30:17):
I can do my job.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
You really are the biinner of bad tidings.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Every day, Michael, I will lead with the good news.
This is way less damage than we thought.
Speaker 13 (30:27):
Yeah, now that was so what happened?
Speaker 10 (30:30):
Is it hit?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Sure, and about ninety minutes later was a cat to storm.
Still very damaging, but they were expecting worst case scenario
at least one hundred billion in damages. It's going to
be closer to thirty Again. I'm sorry, it's like it's
really little good news, but it's good news.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Well no compared to yeah no, Because I was watching
Fox yesterday, they were trying to all day long, you know,
make it all about and you know, most of what
we were seeing was clearly still Helene damage, you know,
refrigery stuff that hadn't been picked up structure damages. Really,
what Milton ended up being more than anything, especially in
terms of life and death, was a tornadic event more
(31:08):
than a hurricane event. So much.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yes, and actually yeah, I love that you say that,
because the storm surge wasn't anything like Allen.
Speaker 13 (31:15):
Allen saw like eighteen feet. This was only eight to ten.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And again it's it's a big storm, but not what
they were anticipating, which is a good thing. But the payout,
when you.
Speaker 13 (31:25):
Say something like thirty billion, not that bad. Thirty billion dollars.
It's so much money, and this is the small one.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
So what we're seeing is like total insured global losses
this year over one hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 13 (31:36):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
This is not sustainable, Michael, This is a problem. This
is when you begin to see insurance start dropping for
the simple reason. I don't come to insurance companies defense
very often, but I do appreciate that they just won't
ensure if they can't pay out, that's it. They're not
going to take your money and not pay you. I
mean they might well, they.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Have an actuarial formula that has to make sense to
remain in.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Business, precisely, and they're just a business. They're not like
intrinsically evil. It's just they they're running like a business.
And if they can't afford it, they're not going to
do it. And they can't afford it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Let me cut, let me cut to what I think
is interesting. So when you say, not only is this
going to impact the insurance industry, it's going to affect
all of us, even those that live thousands of miles
away in what way, Like they'll be tougher on people
inland in flood zones, or all of us will pay
higher premiums to cover it. Both both I was hoping
(32:27):
for anything but a double up.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Oh sorry, both of those will be thrown into the
Like you said, actual aial quit actual aerial?
Speaker 13 (32:36):
Is that a word? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Bad equation that came up second semester at Quinnipiac. Didn't
it right after Zycoast?
Speaker 13 (32:46):
But yeah, so.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Listen, this is going to be a big problem, a
big problem. And you need insurance. If you have a mortgage,
like you can't get a mortgage insurance, And it's gonna
this is where I think it's really going to see
the creep when people can't get insurance or can't afford
or can't afford the insurance that we might see lower
home prices. There might be this strange knock on effect.
And we're not there yet, but the idea that number one,
(33:12):
it creates the haves and the have nots.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yees.
Speaker 13 (33:13):
Col areas have always been where the wealthy lived.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
But if you simply cannot get a mortgage without insurance,
and you certainly can't get in a coastal area, particularly
flood insurance, then yeah, there you go.
Speaker 13 (33:23):
All the normal people are going on.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
You know, it's funny whenever I look at homes in
the areas, like where you live, what strikes me the most?
And yeah, the prices are higher, but Nashville, we've got
neighborhoods with prices that high. My goodness, what you guys
pay in taxes compared to what we pay in taxes,
and what you guys pay in insurance compared to what
we pay. I really don't want to see that stuff
creep my way. But it looks like these hurricanes could have.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
That impact exactly exactly, And it's a big pool. And
when you're pooling a nation, everyone's affected.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Well, it's not going to keep up with inflation, but
social security has got a little bit of an increase.
Aaron'll be back with more slightly good and bad news.
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
