your Morning Show with Michael del Jonerliner. We'd love to
have you be a part of our introductions here at
the Kitchen Table of America. Welcome to Friday, October the eleventh.
If you're just waking up the top stories. The death
toll is up to fourteen after Hurricane Milton ravaged Florida's

(01:20):
West coast. Most of these deaths associated with tornadic activity
and the outer bands of the hurricane. Officials in Clearwater,
Florida say more than five hundred people were rescued from
flooded apartment complexes on Thursday. Latest poll show Vice President
Kamala Harrison, Donald Trump tied in the state of Michigan
and Trump leading in Wisconsin. In Pennsylvania, Ethel Kennedy has

(01:41):
died at the age of ninety six, mother of Robert F.
Kennedy Junior and wife of RFK and really kind of
our last link to the JFK Era. Yankees advance to
the ALCS with a winner of the Royals last night,
they'll play the winner of the Tigers or the Guardians,
who will have Game five coming up. And the forty
nine ers last night went ahead and got back on

(02:02):
top of the NFC West defeating the Seahawks in Seattle
thirty six to twenty four on Thursday Night Football. If
I had to pick a top story today, it wouldn't
be any one. That's kind of what they all add
up to. So we played you in our Sounds of
the day. Barack Obama, he's in Pittsburgh the campaign, and

(02:24):
while he's on stage campaign it's gonna be close. It's
gonna take all of you to get out and register
vote area in Barack Obama, but privately at a Democrat
Party headquarters, and then caught on film and audio, he's
talking to a predominantly black Democrat office and he wanted
to quote unquote, I want to talk to the brothers

(02:47):
out there. You got such a clear choice translation. You
got a white guy and then you got a sister
who has the same coach skin issue. Grew up neighborhoods
like you, overcame everything like you. And of course I thought,

(03:08):
heading in, if there was one voice that made sense,
you know, maybe remind them of when their lies were
at least good looking and palatable, or when hope and change,
you know, wasn't subject to having lived and the consequence

(03:34):
of it. We also know that the reason these races
are so close is traditional voting blocks that Democrats could
count on just aren't there anymore Black voters, Hispanic voters.
We got a new story out today talking about how
the Hispanic men just aren't buying this. Why because say

(03:56):
what you want. The Hispanic people are people of faith
and family and high work ethic, and they work very
hard for their money, and they take care of their
families and extended families. They're not looking for the government
to do anything for him. In fact, they'd like them
to butt out. And all they see the government do
is sending their money abroad or raising the cost of living.

(04:20):
And they are people of great Catholic faith in the
Catholic Church is very strong in pro life. I mean,
I can't think of any for the life of me,
for a legal, law abiding Hispanic citizen in America, a
hard working citizen, I can't think of anything that would
draw you to the Democrat Party, especially if you came
here legally, you've assimilated, you're working hard, and you're watching

(04:42):
one party just let these other people just come in
and get stuff for free. I can't see it on
the abortion front, and I can't see it on the
entitlement and government dependency and big government side, and they're
losing this forty But now this isn't just an election
that well, you know, after Old Joe and then going

(05:04):
to Kamala. Now this has been trending for fifteen twenty years,
and it's just now gotten to the point where hispanics.
I said that the turning point was when I watched
DeSantis's victory in the last gubernatorial race in Florida and
he carried Miami Dade County. There would be no more.

(05:28):
Remember in the old days, when people would in movies
they go look crazy, peticans somebody's slap across the face
and get him back to their senses. Nothing would get
you back to your senses more than that. Miami Dade
County went to Santis. Then precedented, And so we're seeing

(05:48):
traditional voting blocks. Cave. I don't have to tell you
the Israel problem. This election cycle has probably woken up
a lot of Jewish voters. And I'm not sure why.
Jewish voters have always been strange bedfellows with the left.
Are they beginning to lose union support? Headline Democrats have

(06:15):
fed us for over the forty years John O'Brien, Teamster's
president quote, I'll be honest with you, I'm a Democrat,
but they've blanked us over for the last forty years,
not all of them, but for once, we're standing up

(06:35):
for as a union for ourselves. I'm probably the only
one right now saying what have they done for us?
And then I'm getting attacked from the left. See there
is something brewing, and it's brewing everywhere. I hope it bruised,
by the way, with both parties. Sorry Republicans. I don't

(07:00):
think a two party system was ever intended. I think
one nation under God. It is visible with liberty and
justice for all. I think Americans addressing American concerns and
solving American problems. This two party stranglehold, this career politician,
they stay till a toe tag removes them on a gurney.

(07:23):
I don't think that was ever intended. And they've spent
us into thirty five collectively. It's about the only thing
bipartisan they agree on. They stay in power, they get rich,
we stay controlled, we stay poor. We pay for all
the debt that covers the debt that pays for all
the things they pandered to get their votes in power.

(07:45):
Frankly can't stand most of them on either side. But
you're seeing this. There's a shift in America. I don't
know that it's going to be the referendum of this election.
It may very well be. We'll have to wait for
the post mortem to figure that out, but it will
be for the next midterm and the next presidential election

(08:07):
after that. The Barack Obama not just Sean O'Brien unions,
I mean, before I move on to the Barack, teachers
unions are a great one. Teachers unions are busy doing everything,

(08:27):
but what their primary role is. If you're a teacher,
how much is your union and it's time and its
energy and its resources going to your working conditions, your
pay and retirement, your quality of work? And how much

(08:52):
of it is going to political agenda? Why are you
paying those dues? What do you held hostage? So here
you have the union saying I was always for it?
Is this awakening this voting block. You know, we always voted.

(09:15):
What have they done for us? Giving you a great
example and there'll be no answer. Oh and by the way,
there was a teleprompter, so not even the teleprompter had
an answer for this, I'm gonna skip. But this was
the Univision town hall with Kamala Harris wearing her same
century twenty one pants suit, using her same teleprompter. But

(09:37):
here's a Hispanic woman asking a question, and then of
course she's speaking in Spanish, and then it's all being
translated for Kamala. That takes a while. So I'm going
to fast forward, but I'll let you hear the very beginning,
to spend.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Two hundred and fifty dollars the food, and now it
goes up.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
To three hundred, three hundred and fifty.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Sometimes it's really difficult because is going on and we
just simply cannot go ahead.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
We can't move on ahead women.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
And you said we're ambitious, but it's hardly maintained that
ambition when the conditions are so so hard, so challenging.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yes, is living just not destroy as the middle class?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Thank you for the question and your point. Listen, I
know prices are too high still, you know prices are
too high still.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So the woman is concerned. I used to pay two
hundred and fifty dollars for groceries. Now it's three hundred
and fifty. I can't keep up. And all of these
costs of living have gotten to an impossible place to
keep up. What are you going to do about it?
And what does she answer? Oh, they're too high. We
all know they're too high. That's not the question. Questions

(10:49):
what are you going to do to help destroy the
middle class?

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Thank you for the question and your point. Listen, I
know prices are too high still. You know prices are
too high still, and we have to deal with it.
Here's how I feel about it. Again, you've heard my story.
I come from the working class. I'm never going to
forget where I come from. And part of what we
have to do is build what I call an opportunity economy.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
By the way, if you have this week the headline
ass point blank twice by Stephen Cobert and the view,
is there anything you would have done differently from Joe Biden?
You can't think of anything. Then you own it. There's
nothing new coming from you. And if you give it
a cut and paste a policy and then a fancy

(11:37):
name like I mean, they'd be nuts to expect anything
different from you. You're the problem, not the solution. But
this poor girl doesn't even get an answer.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
Have the opportunity like you have described for you to
be able to work hard, and your five daughters have
an opportunity to then do what they and what you
aspire for them to be able to do without having
to worry about just getting by.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
I want you to be able to get ahead. So
here's my plan. It includes what we need to do
to bring down the cost of, for example, groceries. One
of the issues I'm going to be taking on is
price gouging.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Are you kidding me? You want this woman to believe
that her grocery bill went from two hundred and fifty
dollars to three hundred and fifty dollars because the grocery
store is gouging her. It has nothing to do with energy,
which is how it all gets to the store on
a truck. It has nothing to do with the debt

(12:38):
and how it lowers the value of dollars, or how
much you continue to spend more than you bring in,
which is inflationary. Or how about your ridiculous reaction to COVID.
When you dump trillions of dollars into an economy with
no goods or services attached to it, that's how you
create inflation. These poor people have higher interest rates, higher

(13:01):
cost of living, stagnant wages, and that's what you've got
campaign narratives and slogans and price gouging, and then you
wonder why Hispanic men aren't buying your crap and why
you've lost that voting block. Unions are starting to get it.

(13:22):
Blacks are starting to get it. Hispanics are starting to
get it. By the way, I want people of all
parties to start getting it. These politicians are all about
themselves and not you. And I don't know if we're
going to write this course and become one nation again,
but it would start with Colin bs to this most
amateur hour version and blatant version of it. No wonder

(13:47):
she's losing in Pennsylvania. No wonder she's losing in Wisconsin.
No wonder it's tied in Michigan. This is Your Morning
Show with Michael del Chona has risen to fourteen after
Hurricane Milton ravage Florida. Most of those affiliated with tornatic activity.
Five hundred people were rescued from a flooded apartment complex

(14:10):
on Thursday, and Milton slamming into Florida during its going
property insurance crisis isn't going to help things. Tammy Trehilo
has more.

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Florida Policy Project manager Jeff Brands says the storm's expected
to cost some forty billion dollars in insurance claims.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
For citizens, they could have over one hundred thousand claims,
and frankly, because this thing ripped across the state during
the through the EYEP corner, you could be looking at
a million claims in the state of Florida.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
He says.

Speaker 7 (14:36):
Milton is a significant event and will 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 rate steady next year. Floridians
pay four times the national average for property insurance. I'm
tammy trheo.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Donald Trump makes bad news his good news. Here's Brian
Shook with our Road to the White House.

Speaker 8 (15:00):
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, a
barometer of inflation, rose more than expected in September, and
initial filings for unemployment benefits also unexpectedly turned higher for

(15:22):
last week.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
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 (15:34):
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 Shook.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Meanwhile, Vice President Harris was telling supporters in Arizona just
how important it is to get out and vote. Mark
Mayfield is following the Vice President.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
This will be a very race until the very end.
WOA and we are the underdog.

Speaker 10 (16:00):
Speaking a roundly Thursday in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler,
Harris quitticized 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 Neyfield.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Do you believe Share is not launching a concert tour
a book tour. Jacqueline carl has more.

Speaker 11 (16:21):
Fee, the seventy eight year old icon, announced on Wednesday
that the tour for her book, called Share the Memoir,
Part One, which comes out November nineteenth, starts in New
York City November twentieth. Then It's onto Inglewood, New Jersey, London,
Beverly Hills, California, and San Francisco. Tickets are on sale now.

(16:43):
The second part of Shar's memoir comes out in twenty
twenty five. Chare told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show
last November that she's lived too long and done too
much for her life to fit into just one book.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's entertainment. I'm Jacqueline Carl, Hi, I'm Michael, and your
morning show is heard on great radio stations across the
county like one O five, nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida,
News Radio five seventy WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and News
Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have
you listen to us live in the morning, and of
course we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy

(17:17):
good morning, all right. At least fourteen people have now
been listed as dead due to Hurricane Milton ravaging Florida,
most of those tornado victims more than hurricane victims. And
Roy O'Neil is joining us from Miami. Rory, this was
really more of a tornado story, you know. That was
the worst of the news, and then the hurricane could

(17:38):
have been a lot worse.

Speaker 12 (17:39):
Right, Well, I think this is what we talked about yesterday,
is that every hurricane is different, and it's just remarkable
that this one spawned these tornadoes, like we're not used
to seeing in Florida. Tornadoes and hurricanes happen all the time,
but the intensity of these tornadoes was really remarkable. When
they happened was also inter thing. It was long before

(18:01):
the eye of the storm made landfall. Also where they happened,
this was on the Atlantic side of Florida. This hurricane
was hitting on the Gulf side of the state. These
tornadoes closer to the Atlantic side when they touched down
and caused so much destruction. You saw that dumpster in
the roof of a two story home. I mean, just
remarkable stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah. Obviously, I grew up in New Orleans and you know,
we had hurricanes and most you know, it's not really
but Katrina had a lot of tornadoes, but this one,
there was a point, what was it, one hundred tornado
warnings at one time. My friend Vincent, who lives in
Saint Lucie County, they had four tornadoes on the ground

(18:42):
within thirty minutes. I mean, it was just it was insane. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (18:46):
I think one hundred and twenty seven tornado warnings for
the day, which I think the old record for Florida
was something like sixty five, so it's really double the
record number of tornado warnings and the second most torn
warnings in a day in any state something like that.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
And they were all in the outer band, the weather.

Speaker 12 (19:04):
Geeks, and they were all right before the storm came
ashore the center of it.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
So I think that was a.

Speaker 12 (19:09):
Remarkable change for what we expect. You know, I was
talking to the former head of FEMA yesterday. We had
we typically associate hurricanes in three threats, the wind, the
storm surge, and the rainfall that can cause flooding. He said, yeah,
tornadoes have always been in the mix, but they were
sort of a it's one two three with an asterisk.
Now it looks like it maybe you know, one two

(19:29):
three four all on evil footing here.

Speaker 13 (19:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, because I told the story of what when I
got back to our the neighborhood I grew up in
after Katrina, I took one look pulling in on and
this isn't hurricane. I mean, could you know what a
hurricane does, and then you can you can see a
tornado path. All right, So we were originally talking one
hundred billion. Now we're looking more like thirty billion.

Speaker 12 (19:50):
Yeah, we'll see, you know. Governor DeSantis dismissed some of those.
He was asked about that. Lo, we're hearing one hundred
and fifty billion. He's like, they don't know what they're
talking about. Yes, we don't know what the damage is yet.
We are still in that recovery phase. It looks like,
you know, you mentioned fourteen, I've seen seventeen. Whatever that
number is. First of all, it's too high. However, I

(20:11):
would also say in the same breath that it is
much lower than it could have been.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Well I bring this up. Yeah, yeah, much lower than
it could have been. But I bring it up because listen,
none of it. I presume that whether it's fourteen or seventeen,
virtually all of them are from the East coast and
from tornadoes. They wouldn't even have been in the hurricane
mandatory evacuation zone. I mean, who would have you know
saw that coming?

Speaker 12 (20:34):
Well, yeah, some of them are. One guy died, but
we had a heart attack during the peak of the storm,
and the paramedics couldn't go out there because it was
too windy for them, So they call that a storm death. Okay,
I mean I guess one of them. You know, two
people were killed when a tree fell on their house
outside Daytona Beach. And then again you mentioned the tornadoes.
Some of them are traffic related as well, you know,

(20:57):
So it's it's vague how you can attribute some of
these deaths to storms, but it is. It's also true
that we feared the number could have been much higher,
and all evidence suggests that because there were so many
evacuations and people who heeded the warnings to evacuate, clearly
the number of fatalities is lower than it could have been.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Now, it's interesting we're enclosing when they go through all
of this. Maybe we'll talk about this in our next segment.
I think it's going to be birch. I was watching
Fox yesterday all day long, and they're just they're trying
to find things, and of course I know what I'm
looking at. I mean, when you're seeing refrigerators that that's
not from Milton, that's from Helene. So I don't know
that they'll ever know what Helene cost and Milton costs.

(21:40):
They'll just combine them and we'll get to a number.
But it's sure look to the naked eye like Helene
in portions did more expensive damage than Milton. Yeah, that
could be.

Speaker 12 (21:53):
Yeah, I wait and see what happens with the floodwaters here,
because you know, we are still seeing the effects of this.
What rivers are about to overflow their bank as a result.
So I wouldn't say we're out of the woods just yet.
But and when we mentioned these numbers, sixty seventy one
hundred billion, these are the insured losses. You know, FEMA
is going to come in and make the government's hole again.
But it's the up to the insurance companies to pick

(22:15):
up the tab for this this bill. And that's where
you know we're going to have some fighting going on
about who owes what for what?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
You brought up insurance for a well oiled machine. That's
right where I'm at it. Ury's going to be back
in the next hour a little more thank you. Recording
from Miami. Yeah, Hurricane Milton slam Florida just about two
weeks after Helene, with an already ongoing property insurance crisis.
In this date, Tammy Trehuilo has more.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
Florida Policy Project manager Jeff Brands says the storms expected
to cost some forty billion dollars in insurance claims.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
For citizens, they could have over one hundred thousand claims,
and frankly, because this thing ripped across the state during
the through the EYEP corner, you could be looking at
a million claims in this Florida.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
He says.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
Milton is a significant event and will 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 rate steady next year. Floridians
pay four times the national average for property insurance. I'm
tammy truheo.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Donald Trump jumped all over the latest economic reports. Here's
Mark Mayfield with Today in Politics.

Speaker 10 (23:23):
Former President Trump is going after the Biden Harris administration
again on the economy after some poor reports. The Consumer
Price Index, a brometer of inflation, rose more than expected
in September, and initial filings for unemployment benefits were also
unexpectedly higher last week.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
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 different.

Speaker 10 (23:49):
At the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday, Trump chinaed the
White House for keeping inflation higher than when he was
in office. Trump consistently has the advantage among voters on
whom they trust to handle the economy. As election day nears,
and Vice President Harris is telling supporters in Arizona why
it's important that they get out and vote. Speaking at
around on Thursday in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler Hereris
said this will be a tight race until the very

(24:11):
end and that she is the underdog. The Democratic presidential
nominee also criticized former President Trump for refusing to join
her for a second debate. Early voting in the swing
state of Arizona began Wednesday. That's politics, I'm Markneyfield.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Well, Democrats are nervous. Barack Obama sound downright, panicked in
Pittsburgh and why not. Trump's leading now in Pennsylvania two
polls by one in Pittsburgh, tied in Michigan in one poll,
leading by two in another in Wisconsin, tied in both poles,
and back in the lead in North Carolina, and a

(24:43):
slight lead in Georgia. Thanks looking good for Donald Trump.
Right now to wonder Barack Obama's playing the race car
Sean P. Diddy Diddy Combs or maybe you know him
as two five seven h six oh four. His federal
sex trafficking trial is going to begin in this spring.
Lisa Taylor has the latest.

Speaker 14 (25:02):
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 mi se Taylor.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
A WHO study reveals more than fifteen and a half
million US adults have ADHD. Tammy Trihilo's back with the details.

Speaker 7 (25:28):
And many find it difficult getting the 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 Riddlin and adderall are often
prescribed to treat ADHD. But over seventy one percent reported
difficulty getting their ADHD prescriptions filled because their medications were unavailable.

(25:50):
While ADHD symptoms typically begin in childhood, more than half
of the respondents said they've been diagnosed as adults. I'm
Tammy trheo as you know Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Every Friday car me pizza boy, So how could I
resist this story? There are twelve National Pizza Days every year,
but today's a big one. My favorite National Zazich Pizza Day,
pre Tennis has the tale.

Speaker 13 (26:13):
Americans eat 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, sausage 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

(26:35):
most associated with addiction. I'm pre tennis if.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I'm addicted, but I like fresh garlic, basil, yeah, little
less asis and mushroom. Yeah, that's my favorite.

Speaker 14 (26:47):
It.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
We have some good games in college football this weekend.
Oh you Texas Red River rivalry is a big one
for us, but I don't think it's the biggest game
of the week. Ohio State and Oregon, two top five teams,
will square off Utah and Arizona State tonight. LSU my
Alma Mata going against Ole Miss, Penn State, USC Tennessee's
got Florida. I wouldn't think they'll hiccup twice in a row,

(27:11):
not against the Gators, would they. NFL, we had a
West showdown and the forty nine Ers are back on
top of the division, winning thirty six. Twenty four were
the Seattle Seahawks last night. Big NFL games, Buck Saints,
I mean, Baker Mayfield is just looking fabulous. Cardinals, Arizona
listening in Phoenix. You got the Packers this weekend, Colts

(27:32):
and Titans. That'll be one sided, Browns and Eagles, one sided,
Lions and Cowboys. That could be a good game. Game
of the week. I think the Washington Commanders in the
Baltimore Ravens. That's going to be a doozy. In baseball,
Yankees three to one over the Royals. Got to take
the Royals now to the Lonesome Valley or whatever it is.
Yankees advance of the Alcs Guardians State Live five to

(27:53):
four with a win over the Tigers. They'll play tomorrow
night at seven oh eight pm to see who takes
on the Yankees. Mets are eating the winner of the
Dodgers and the Padres Game five tonight at seven oh eight.

Speaker 12 (28:06):
This is Steve the Wrestler, a refugee from the People's
Republic of Minnesota, and my morning show is your Morning
show with Michael del Jorino.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
You can tell it's Friday. This email just came from
Catherine at Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. Michael, hearing
you talk about pizza brings up an interesting question as
an Italian, and thank you for noticing where do you
stand on a pineapple pizza in the debate. No, there's
no such thing as pineapple pizza. Gotta have a little

(28:39):
fresh guard. I got lett Azazich, some mushrooms, some basil.
Although if anybody does eat pineapple pizza, I don't know
why I could picture John Decker being that guy. You
seem like a pineapple pizza guy to me.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
No, I'm not, No, I'm not. Did you answer that
question though, did.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
You say yeah, no, I why do I would never
eat a pineapple pizza, now, Yeah, but I.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Like pineapple by itself, but not on pizza.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I do too, all right, So I'm looking at these
latest poles and this will lead to a question, I promise,
not a statement. So we have Donald Trump now leading.
There's two poles that came out yesterday. In both polls,
he's leading in Pennsylvania by one forty nine eight. So
the question is he really leading by three or four?

(29:27):
Michigan one he has him tied. That would be the
Hill Emerson. The other Insider Advantage has Trump leading by
two forty eight forty six. Wisconsin, one pole has Trump
tied and the other has him leading by one. So
the question now becomes are these undecided voters starting to

(29:50):
make their decisions? Because what you're following for this weekend
is both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump hitting the swing
states and targeting these undecided voters. Some of them might
be deciding because these these are starting to break in
certain directions. Message is going to be everything down the
stretch here.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, I don't think that the polls that you site
tell us anything. They're all within the margin of error,
and their polls, their polls you know, I mean to me,
I go with results. I look at when I figure
out who is going to win or who's likely to
win a certain state, I look at results rather than polling.
Polling's helpful results include what happened in that state's Republican primary.

(30:30):
I think that that is a good indication about how
people vote. When no one, when they don't need to
talk to anybody, they can just go into the voting booth,
they can just cast their ballot with us, sharing how
they're going to vote with individuals. So to me, that's
something the factor in there.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Michael, how about I was just going to say, but
how about in twenty sixteen, when did you or did
you ever since Donald Trump was going to beat Hillary Clinton?
I did.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
That's the reason why, that's the reason why I'm invited
to speak and give my views on elections, you know,
since sixteen, because unlike a lot of my colleagues that
cover of the White House, I nailed it. I got
it exactly right. I got Donald Trump winning that election
exactly on the money as far as the Electoral College
is concerned. And when I would say about a week

(31:15):
and a half out, when I to me, it's one
of those things where it's too early. We're about three
weeks out from the election.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, No, I think mine was about a week. Mine
was about a week out. Me and de Z did
our maps and I had Trump eating by one. But
I have to be honest with you. Before God, I
didn't think I was going to be right, but I
had him winning by one using my brain. But then
my heart was like, there's no way he's going to
beat her. But when the exit polling information came out
about two in the afternoon, I looked at my wife

(31:46):
and I said, oh, my gosh, he's going to do it.
But that's to your point, that's them coming out it happened,
not a poll of what they might do. That was
telling you what they just did. But what we do
see pretty consistently though, with Donald Trump is the under
And that makes sense because his core followers hate universities,
hate the mainstream media, and that's who's going to be

(32:07):
calling doing polls. They're not going to answer the phone
and they're not going to tell him, especially when you
think they're an insurrectionist. So if he's leading by one,
he might be leading by a lot more. And that's
been pretty consistent in both races twenty sixteen and twenty twenty.
I think if I was Kamala Harris, I would be
looking at these numbers and be very nervous. I know,
Barack Obama is the open mic got that.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Well, No, I mean I think Barack Obama Democrats should
be nervous. You know, in terms of Donald Trump's been
successful in twenty sixteen, He's been successful in terms of
winning the White House. So with good reason, you should
be nervous. But you know, look, there's a lot of
factors that go into who wins a presidential campaign. Getting
out the vote is one of the key factors. You know,

(32:48):
that is an indication of you know, turning polling numbers
into people actually casting their ballot. And that's so important
for both political campaigns.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
So were they headed this weekend and what's the message
going to be?

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well, you know, here's the head scratcher and something for
you to talk about. Michael, let me talk about Donald
Trump and this is the head scratcher part of the conversation.
He's going to be in Aurora, Colorado today, and Rino,
Nevada tomorrow, Coachella, California, Dundee, Prescott Valley, Arizona. Why are
you spending anytime if you're Donald Trump, anytime whatsoever in

(33:21):
your count state that's going to be blue. Why you're Colorado?
Why go to Coachella California. You should be in a
battleground state, all right, And.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
You're kind to leave out Madison Square Garden where I
think he just wants to see himself fill it up.
I yeah, no no comment there, all right.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Where's Kamala Kamala once again not as busy as Donald
Trump today. She is in Phoenix, Arizona, taking the day
off tomorrow and then back out on the campaign trail
in Greenville, North Carolina on Sunday. Again. You can't take
days off, you know. As Tim Walls, the governor of
Minnesota one said, well, sleep when we're dead. That's a

(33:57):
great line to use, and I think evaccurate in terms
of to run a campaign.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Del Jorno
