Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well two three Starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together. This is your morning show with Michael
del Joiner.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Ready or not? Here comes Tuesday, the fifteenth of October.
Hopefully ready because you're listening to us your morning show.
I'm Michael del Journal. Good Morning on the air and
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app Beep. Kamala Harris will
sit down for an exclusive interview with Charlemagne the God.
You can hear that at one hundred and twenty iHeart
stations today or on the iHeartRadio app. That'll be at
(00:51):
five Eastern today, then six Eastern tomorrow with Britt Beer
on Brett Bear on Fox. A first ever appearance for
Kamala Harris on Fox. Recovery efforts continue for Hurricane Milton
and Helene and Florida Yankees take Game one of the
Alcs Mets even the series at one game apiece, and
if you fell asleep, Josh Allen, well, it was really
the running game of the Bills that took down the
(01:13):
Jets twenty three to twenty and an AFC East clash
on Monday Night football last night. As you know, we
can't have your morning show without your voice. Love getting
your emails Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com. And then
there's the talkback button on your iHeartRadio app, which is
where we find two listeners this morning. Guarantee you Decker
pulls a lever for Kamala, and I bet you money
(01:34):
he was one of them sky scrammers in twenty sixteen.
That is all well, he was just pointing out, don't
rely on one poll, although I just did the real
clear politics polls and it chowse him leading in five
of the key swing states. By the way, I had
brought up that where did everybody stand? All right? Hillary
(01:55):
Clinton was up six point seven percent nationally heading into
election day, where she lost the electoral College map to
Donald Trump. Joe Biden was leading nine point four percent.
Hiding in a basement in the midst of COVID that
led to his victory over Donald Trump. Kamala Harris's Real
Clear Politics lead nationally is one point seven percent. So
(02:20):
if six point seven percent was a loss for Hillary,
nine point four was a victory for Joe, Kamala's in
trouble at one point seven percent. And then when we
go inside the Real Clear Politics, these stats all look
really bad. Pennsylvania Real Clear Politics average and it's been
trending away from Kamala towards Trump. So latest polls show
Trump leading by three now, but the Real Clear Political
(02:43):
average is zero point three And don't forget Trump. Under polls,
North Carolina a half a percentage, Georgia a half a percentage,
Arizona one point one. Now, Wisconsin is down to a
zero point three percent lead for Kamala Harris, and Michigan
zero point nine percent lead for Donald Trump, Nevada zero
point two for Donald Trump. He's winning every swing state
(03:05):
on the Real Clear Electoral College polling average for Real
Clear Politics, with the exception of Wisconsin, which is under
a half. Meanwhile, disapproval for the president is fifteen percent underwater,
and there's still seventy percent of America that thinks we're
heading in the wrong direction. These would not be single polls.
These would be really bad looking things for Kamala Harris
(03:27):
with just three weeks to go. And then we highlighted
earlier with CNN highlighted his alarm bells are going off everywhere,
which is the hemorrhaging of male black votes. Now, in
twenty twelve, Barack Obama of men eighteen to forty four,
of color black men eighteen to forty four, Obama won
by eighty one points. Four years later, Hillary Clinton won
(03:50):
by only sixty three point that's twenty less than Biden
in tw won by only fifty three points. Now you're
thirty less. Kamala Harris is spulling right now at forty
one percent points higher than Donald Trump. That's half of
what it was in twenty twelve. This is not a
Kamala Harris phenomenon. This is a Democrat base erosion. Losing
(04:15):
black mail votes eighteen to forty four, and that along
with the leads that Hillary had, Biden had compared to
what Kamala has, this constant erosion and half of what
they've had and now down to what, let's face it
is the lowest they've lost fifty one percent of their
(04:36):
black mail vote eighteen to forty four, lowis since nineteen sixty.
These are real problems, no wonder. Kamala Harris yesterday is
offering a million dollars in forgivable loans to blackmail entrepreneurs.
Now we're not even certain that's legal. Are constitutional, let
alone within the purview of a president. That would have
to be done by Congress, but they've already done it
with student loans and failed at the Supreme Court. The
(05:00):
shameless pandering for vote seems to have no end. And
that's kind of where things stand three weeks ago. And
if you want to hear the desperation, you can. I'm
sure with Charlemagne the God today and with Brettbair tomorrow. Look,
she wouldn't be going on Fox. I mean, you know,
for Donald Trump, here's the brilliance. The best version of
(05:24):
Donald Trump possible was the one the Democrats created tied
up in court throughout the prime He won the Republican primary,
not being able to be on the campaign trail, and
it was the perfect amount of Donald Trump. And it
caused his party to come and speak for him, which
created a unit even before the convention then he doesn't
(05:44):
appear in a single debate, and let's see others just
pick each other off as one debate with Kamala Harris
performs terrible. But she finds herself in this pickle. And
now she's going out doing interviews, which is her weakness
on the view on Stephen Colbert, even with softballs, she
(06:07):
hangs herself by linking herself to Joe Biden and his policies.
It's why we said our question of the day really
for the talkback line should be this, who's hurting Kamala
Harris the most in this presidential election? Just yesterday you
have Bill Clinton campaigning for her, bringing up Lincoln Riley
(06:31):
and yeah, she was killed and that shouldn't have happened.
And of course if that man had been vetted, she'd
be alive. If I was Donald Trump, I just played
that clip. I'm Donald Trump and I approved this ad.
Barack Obama caught on a hot mic at a Democrat
Party headquarters. She's blowing it, she's losing it, she's losing
(06:51):
the black vote. Joe Biden, Well, there's all kinds of
tensions there. She tries to make a big deal in
politics out of a hurricane and from the White House
cuts her out at the knees and says, I'm in
constant contact with Governor DeSantis. He's doing a great job,
and he has my cell number and he has my
full support. And then there's Kamala in all these interviews,
(07:13):
cackling last night in her town hall. Who do you
think is hurting Kamala Harris the most in this bait
and switch from Joe keeping her from winning this election?
Is Joe Biden hurting her? Is Barack Obama hurting her?
Is Bill Clinton hurting her? I guess I could throw
in Vice President knucklehead. He can't be helping. What about
(07:35):
Kamala herself? She seems to be doing the most to
hurt herself. And then, as I always say when in
doubt in high school, I always did e all of
the above could be the case.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
From Phoenix to Tampa and from Memphis to Akron. This
is your Morning Show with Michael del Juneau.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Good morning, twenty minutes after the hour, Thanks for waking
up with your morning show on the air and streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. I am Michael del jorno
here to serve you. This show belongs to you. Jeffrey
Line back at the control center. He's here to serve
all of us phone number eight hundred and six eight
eight ninety five twenty two, email Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com. And of course there's always the talkback button
(08:17):
on your iHeartRadio app. Our question of the day is
who's hurting Kamala Harris the most? Gamala Harris, Joe Biden,
Barack Obama? Or how about Bill Clinton? He went viral yesterday. Wow.
Not sure what Bill Clinton was trying to do here,
but he certainly didn't help matters. Listen, what Yeah, you
(08:41):
got a case of Jordan. You got a case in Georgia,
lank and Riley, young lady killed by an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly Vetta would.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
If they had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't
have happened. If I was Donald Trump, I would just
air that paid for by Donald Trump for president. I'm
Donald J. Trump, and I approved that ad.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
But if they're all probably better that nothing happened. In
America is not having enough babies to keep our populations,
so we need immigrants that better to do work.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
There wouldn't be a problem. Don't you love this? We
live in a country you can't even have his statue
of any of our founding fathers. Why they own slaves.
But now because we abort all our babies, or because
we fear global warming so much we're afraid to have children,
or because we don't value God, and you lose God,
you lose man. We're not pro creating. Now suddenly it's
(09:50):
a crisis. And what's the left solution?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Abortion still? Oh, global warming panic still? But yeah, we
need immigrants, you know, now, slave labor. He's right, we
do have a birthing crisis, but you might want to
address what created it. Now jump to the solution of
now we need this new slave class to come here,
(10:15):
and oh, by the way, not assimilate. Just continue to
be a melting culture. Remember when abortion used to be safe,
though it never was rare, why if there's nothing wrong
and legal it already was. Now it's a virtue. And
(10:37):
now there's a birthing crisis that can only be solved
through vetted immigration. Of course, if the government fails, your
daughter could end up dead.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That leads us to Columbus day. We don't talk about
him very much in fact, if you're Kamala Harris, you
don't talk very much at all. You're blind to those
that are breaking into the country right now and trafficking
humans and drugs that are killing hundreds of thousands of
Americans or unvetted immigrants, as Bill Clinton would say that
our killing America's daughters. You're blind to that. But boy,
(11:11):
you can crystal clearly see what happened hundreds of years ago.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
It is an honor, of course, to be with you
this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, as we
speak truth about our nation's history. Since nineteen thirty four,
every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of
the European explorers who first landed on the shores of
(11:37):
the America.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
But why don't we any more commonly because we are
a terrible people with a terrible pass.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But that is not the whole story. That has never
been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in a wave
of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land, and
spreading disease.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So don't worry about the five complexes overtaken by illegal immigrants.
It's just five complexes. Don't worry about the human trafficking,
the drug trafficking. Don't worry about the murder or the
taking of things and homes in land. Not that's happening
(12:24):
in present time. Let's go back hundreds of years and
focus on that disease and that stain. Again, it begs
the question, who is hurting Kamala Harris's chances of being
president the most? Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton or
(12:47):
Kamala herself. Don't forget Veep, knucklehead and all of the above.
I can't imagine how things will go with Charlemagne the
God Fight Eastern on iHeart, or tomorrow with Brett beher
on Fox Sorry. Top five stories of the day. Former
President Trump is pledging to bring interest rates down if
elected in November. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Speaking at a town hall outside of Philadelphia on Monday,
Trump said, at two percent, there was plenty of money
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We had interest rates at two percent, and now they're
ten percent and you can't get the money.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
The Republican presidential nomine added there would be no tax
on Social Security benefits for seniors. Trump also repeated the drill, Baby,
Drill phrase, saying we're going to have so much energy.
National polls have indicated a very tight race between Trump
and Vice President Harris. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The parents of an Israeli American hostage killed in Gaza.
They're giving details about their son's death. Brian Shook has
the details.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
In an interview with NBC News. They say the body
of Hirsch Goldberg Pollen was found bullet ridden and emaciated
in a sixty foot deep tunnel.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
The gunshot one of them was so right on his hand,
went through his hand, into his neck and came out
the side of his head.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
The twenty three year old Goldberg Pollen was among two
hundred and fifty one people taken hostage during the Hamas
terrorists attack on October seventh, twenty twenty three. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
As parents deal with their own stress from Hurricane Helene
and Milton, they need to monitor their children's anxiety as well,
Tammy Trihelio reports.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Psychologist Jennifer Katzenstein with John Hopkins All Children's Hospital in
Saint Petersburg, Florida, says kids show stress in a lot
of ways.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
They can have experiences such as more anxiety or fear
or worry about the safety of others, including pets, and
also potential worry about future storms or another storm that
may be coming.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
She says, if your family has been affected by the hurricanes,
you should maintain routines and expectations for good behavior. Parents
should also reassure children that they're doing everything possible to
keep them safe. Week four months after the event, watch
for nightmares or other signs that you're child is reliving
the hurricanes. I'm tammage forr HEO.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
A new documentary about the Beatles first visit to America
nineteen sixty four, is going to premiere on Disney Plus

restored in four K. Jill Martin, son of the Beatles
producer George Martin, also remixed the band's famous live performances

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Mets with a big win in LA, even the series
at one game apiece, and the Guardians lost five to
two to the Yankees. Yankees up one nothing, game two tonight,
six thirty eight in the Bronx. And that's your top
five stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Hey, the world can be scary place, but it doesn't
have to be. Starting your day off right. This is
your morning show with Michael Ndheld journo.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Thank you, Mike McCann thirty five minutes after the hour.
For those of you in the Central time z own
about twenty five minutes to be to work on time,
and thank you so much for bringing your morning show
along with you for the drive to work. Well, if
you're just waking up. Vice President Kamala Harris is going
to be sitting down with Brett Bair tomorrow at six
Eastern on Fox, her first appearance on Fox News ever.
(16:30):
Today with Charlletmage the God on Iheart's one hundred and
twenty stations around the iHeart app She is desperate to
turn things around as the election seems to be slipping
sliding away from her. Yankees even up there al Or
Yankees took a one nothing lead in their ALCS series,
the Mets evened up Theirs in the National League, and
Josh Allen, mainly the running Game, took out the Jets
(16:51):
twenty three to twenty on Monday Night Football last night.
And if you're just waking up American companies like you
are keeping a very close eye on the twenty twenty
four presidential race. Why because the two candidates have drastically
different agendas that will impact their bottom lines. Always getting
the bottom of line is our Aaron Reyale who joins
us with our election Reality of the Day. Good morning, Aaron,
(17:13):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (17:14):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I'm doing good?
Speaker 11 (17:16):
Good Yeah. So let's drive right in. So Republicans always
the favorite of business and corporations, reasonably so, because they
generally have less onerous regulatory policies. They cut red tape,
they tax less. Yeah, we get it. This go round
is a little different, and even within it depends on
the sector, and then even within the sector, it depends
(17:37):
on the industry, and then within the industry it can
depend on the company. So I'm gonna give you an
example with airlines.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Please, because now I'm completely confused.
Speaker 11 (17:43):
No quick, I'll get you there. I can do this.
So under Biden you had transposted Secretary Pete Buddha judge.
He had taken a very hard line with travel protection
consumer protection stuff. So there's a lot of new rules
about refunds and cancellations and family seating. This has been
hard for the airline industry. There's also been a lot
(18:04):
of FTC, sec CFTB, all of the alphabet super regulatory
bodies have looked at antitrust stuff this year. Lawsuits, particularly
about partnerships with American Airlines and Jet Blue and Jet
Blue and Spirit all debted.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And don't forget the racist bridges, but go.
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Ahead, yes, racist bridges, well, please never forget. But Trump
generally doesn't pursue those type of consumer protections, or at
least he hasn't and probably will be more flexible in
terms of mergers. Okay, cool, Then if you just look
at airlines cousin aerospace, Trump has said that he wants
the additional ten to twenty percent tariff on goods from
(18:43):
China that's going to drive off the cost of production.
Aerospace doesn't love it. So again it comes down to
the industry, within the sector, within like the actual company,
because you can even look at tech where you're like, no,
tech loves Trump, Well, Elon Musk loves Trump, Mark Zuckerberg
loves Hiris. It really is not as clear cut this year.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well that much is clear cut, actually though, because you
could always count on Zuckerberg to support the left. I mean,
that's why the seismic shock of this election is not
that they four years ago they hit Joe Biden a basement,
and then they controlled the narrative through the media that
they controlled newspaper, television, cable networks. Then they controlled any
(19:25):
opposing views because they controlled technocracy and social media. Well
that's not the case this time because of Elon Muck's
Elon and x so. But for Zuckerberg that's always been
the same, and for the technocrats that's always been the same.
That they're left. But it is interesting how this is
going to play out. The taxes, maintaining the tax cuts,
(19:45):
I mean, I don't think businesses, especially small business owners,
which are a lot of those millionaires they want to tax.
It's not out of you're really taxing not a millionaire,
you're taxing a million dollar company. And its employees, which
might have a devastating effect on employ Yes, yeah, so
I think that's the driving I would think that's the
driving force more. I mean, taxes would probably outweigh a
(20:07):
lot of even and regulatory and border The tariffs is
more of a negotiation, So it's it's almost false to
assume that it's just going to be a major tax.
Some of it is necessary, we've got to compete if
we just turn our manufacturing over to other countries. That's
but a lot of that is part of a negotiation
(20:27):
process so that the trade is fair. And we can
say that pretty safely because he did it one time
before when he was president. But so how does it
all balance out, knowing they're not all equal, which way
does it seem to be leaning?
Speaker 11 (20:40):
It's again, it's not clear cut because like let's use
listen tech is like that was almost a bad example
in the sense that you're right, you're one hundred percent
spot on that, Like, yeah, therefore has always been one way.
A better example might be a Detroit listen. Harris is
going to be talking to Charletne today and Detroit. So
let's look at at autos EVS. Republicans led by Trump
(21:01):
condemned VS generally claiming that they're being forced on the
consumer and that they're going to ruin the US automotive.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Wait a minute, you know how I feel about you,
But I got a chime it. EV's have been condemned,
condemned by the consumers. They just don't make sense right
right now.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
No, I'm not contesting that at all. Okay, No, No,
Like I actually think Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Is that they're going to be building cheap Chinese ones
in Mexico and sending them right over the border at
thirteen Quine.
Speaker 11 (21:27):
So the yes, that's the part. So like if we're
just talking about the candidate's not the consumers right now, Okay,
what you have is Trump has really decided to like
roll black any of these vehicle mission standards, which is okay,
that is what it is. But Harris has been a
big vocal supporter. However, Trump has said that he wants
to basically pact anything made in Mexico, get rid of
(21:50):
cars being made in Mexico, and the corporations themselves, not
the individuals, not the buyers, not that the corporate heads
what we're talking about right now, corporations who today like
they're like wait, what, Like, that's going to be really
hard for us. So that's not necessarily what they want.
So even though it would be nice not to have
to transition everyone to EV and not have all these
different emission standards, it wouldn't be great to have everything
(22:12):
moved out of Mexico for them. So again, not clear
cut this go round.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, I you know, this one is a tough one.
You know. The economy is a driving force in this
election from the voter's perspective, so that's the employee and
jobs and stagnant wages are not climbing nearly to meet inflation.
From the company perspective, which is the topic of what
you're talking about. It is interesting. There are some sectors,
(22:39):
but by and large I would think it favors Trump.
What is the research show?
Speaker 11 (22:44):
The research shows it's out. The vertice is still out,
much like the voter, which is fascinating. That's why this
is We're three weeks away and the fact that the research,
the data, like the empirical data, all of it is
showing that it's coming down not just to like Corporate
America loves the Republican, which they do as they should.
It serves them well, like that candidate. It serves their
(23:05):
industry well for the most part. But generally this go
around given the new things that you know, there's just
so much on the board right now with evs, and
then bring manufacturing back from Mexico, and don't even get
me started about healthcare. But you have media, you have restaurants.
They both don't want to tax tips, and then tech.
Everything we've discussed, it isn't clearcut.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
This go around well.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And here's the best news of all arin we'll all
find out in three weeks. I don't know about you,
but this can end soon enough for me.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
I know, I know, I know what I have this.
I wouldn't be surprised unless there's a landslide, which I
don't think there will be. Outside of that, I wouldn't
be surprised if we don't know who the president is
until Friday the eighth.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, and then there could be. Boy, that's a can
of worms. I don't know if you have time to
stick around for. But remember in the Shadow Campaign to
Save the Democracy, which is a manifesto in Time magazine.
You should look it up February fifteenth of Time twenty one.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
This is yeah, this is the left telling you what
their plan was. We had to save democracy. So here's
what we did. We weaponized COVID, We changed election laws
at the state level. Legislatures didn't stop us. We used
mail in voting. We did a shadow campaign to save
the democracy and get rid of Donald Trump. Now had
it not worked. In that manifesto, they tell you that
(24:22):
they had an insurrection planned and they were conditioning us
with that, with Black Lives Matter and in TIFA. They
brag about it in this plan. In fact, they even
come right out and say, we really had to scramble
when we were shocked in Joe one to call off
that insurrection. Of course, we all know the insurrection card
they played against Donald Trump. So the question becomes, even
if Donald Trump should win, and I think it's anywhere
(24:45):
from a solid electoral win to a landslide, or at
least that's the view from three weeks out, what do
they have planned this time? Well, they may pin insurrection
on Trump and try not to approve him from being elected,
although I don't know how they would get away with
that and avoid JD Vance, which for some of us
is a better reality question.
Speaker 11 (25:05):
Right, Yeah, I think, like I.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Know, but you're right, You are so right to sense
there's no way this is all over in November. First
of all, if it comes down to Pennsylvania, and I
don't think it will, that's gonna be days or weeks.
And that's without challenges. Oh yeah, there's plenty of crazy
left in twenty twenty four, as I would say, unfortunately,
Aaron real great reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow, all right,
forty three minutes after the hour, we come back. We
(25:28):
always give Rory the final story. What's concerning Americans the
most in the twenty twenty four election, Because if it's
the economy and it's the aborter, we know who's going
to win. But if it's abortion in democracy, maybe Kamala's
got a shot. Roy O'Neil with the final story. When
you're a morning show continues next.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I mean, you can't spell USA without us. We are
all in this together. This is your morning show with
Michael del Joano.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Why'm Michael del t We can't have this show without
your voice. Let's go to Mary Mary's listening to k
STE and Sacramento. By way of I think Idaho, Bill.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Clinton and Barack Obama have to know that anytime they're
speaking in public, it's being recorded. I think they're just
not that into her, and I don't think they think
she's well I think person who should be a part
of the club that they belong to, especially Barack Obama. Yeah,
he was raised by a woman.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Was Those are all great points, Mary. I will say this,
Kamala Harris in twenty twenty was the Clinton candidate and
was the first one out in the primary. Then they married.
As only John Podesta and George Soros can the Clinton
apparatus and the Obama apparatus and foot soldiers by combining
(26:49):
Joe Biden Obama apparatus with Kamala Harris Clinton. So I
think Clinton's for her, And if you listen to those
comments totalent in total, you can see he just doesn't
have the same fastball that he used to have. He's
trying to support her and then brings up one of
the most damning examples. I don't think that was now Barack,
(27:10):
I mean Joe Biden. I think those are deliberate. Those
are bitter Joe trying to protect his legacy for Barack Obama.
They got to know that they're being filmed. I agree.
I think he was just trying to genuinely express she's
losing and the black vote is going to cause the loss,
especially because he knows the swing districts in turnout. I
(27:33):
think he just got caught being honest. I still think
Kamala is Kamala's biggest enemy, and Veep knucklehead isn't helping.
Do we have Daniel real quick? Kamala. Harris's campaign to
the Democrats is literally, vote for me, even though you've
(27:53):
never voted for me before. I don't know, I don't
know if I'm over elaborating, but Daniel listening to a
ninety eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville,
you're dead on. Look. At the end of the day,
if they lose this, they have only themselves to blame.
They meddled. In twenty sixteen, it would have been Bernie Sanders,
they created Hillary and lost. They meddled. It would have
(28:14):
been Bernie Sanders again, and they got Joe Biden and
it worked, tiding him in a basement. This time they
meddled or removed Joe inserted Kamala, And if they lose,
they have only themselves to blame for not trusting the
primary process. End of story. There you got it. We
always give the final story to Rory. Rory O'Neil, what's
concerning the Americans most in this election, because Rory, if
(28:37):
it's the border, if it's the economy, I think I
know the result, but it all depends on where and what. Right.
Speaker 12 (28:45):
Well, this is a question that Bankred posed to voters
specifically about the economics. We know it's the economy, stupid, right,
So they asked specifically, what's the economic issue concerning you
most when you vote this November, and inflation was top
of the list overall, an interesting split though forty one
percent was the overall number, But if you break it
(29:07):
down by party, fifty six percent of Republican said inflation
is the top economic issue, but only half that number.
Twenty eight percent of Democrats said inflation was the top number.
Twenty two percent set healthcare costs, and seventeen percent of
Democrats set affordable housing, so a bit more of a
mix depending on whether or not you're right or blue.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So for housing, we know its home values plus interest rate,
causing specifically the baby boomers to hang out of their properties,
which creates an inventory shortage in terms of inflation and
loss of value of the dollar. That's how to control
government spending. And quite frankly, they're both to blame for that.
So America can tell you what the priorities are, but
(29:51):
I don't think they've got their finger on the cause
or they both be focused on what the Tea Party
movement was focused on the debt. Well, I think what.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Also is an issue is that you know, they say inflation, like,
do you mean higher prices or do you mean inflation,
because there's sort of two different things really and yeah,
but clearly it's pocketbook issues that are driving things here.
The other top five so it's inflation and the other
top five are healthcare costs at number two, affordable housing,
followed by jobs and government spending. I think was the
(30:23):
deficit in their The federal deficit was cited by three
percent of those.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So they separate deficit and government spending. How do they
think they arrive at deficit? Well, they separate them though,
well right, yeah, they said, all right, so hmm, you know,
the more we look at this, if that's the only
the economic picture, then you have the border, then you
have the threat of democracy, and then you have abortion.
(30:49):
Those are typically the top four things and they are
very partisan as well, so you're not really running Kamala
Harris against a track record of Donald Trump or pow
policies of Donald Trump. You're really running abortion against the boogeyman,
Donald Trump. I mean, that's the political reality. The other
reality is the numbers behind the numbers, and nobody really
(31:14):
proposing any spending cuts or any any government control and
addiction to government spending by the voters because they have
a role in this too, right.
Speaker 12 (31:29):
I will point out two other quick things they made
in this survey. The majority of Americans are not pleased
with the current track of the economy. Fifty five percent
say the national economy is on the wrong track, with
a big number of independents really saying that over sixty percent.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
So that's bad news for Harris.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
But when it comes to which presidential candidate is better
for your personal financial situation, these numbers were closer than
I thought. Forty two percent said Donald Trump would be
better for their personal financial situation. Thirty eight percent said
Harris would be better for their personal financial situation.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I don't know what you take as the bottom line
to this. Oh, by the way, I did watch that
rocket returned to was that was extraordinary how it comes
back and then the arms grab it. I mean that
was I forgot to tell you that earlier math. Yeah,
I know, it's math, and I didn't do good at math,
all right, So in essence, what we see, I think,
bottom line is the narratives versus reality. Do you remember
(32:24):
when we used to do those tests. I don't know
if you ever did them, where it asked you a
series of questions on issues and you answered, and then
it told you the candidate you should vote for, oh right,
and it never matched who you were voting for. Because
that's how much it becomes a you know what David'sanatti
would call a class president election. It becomes about narratives
(32:44):
and personality or party loyalty, and it gets further and
further away from reality. And that's what this shows me. Right,
every time.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
You try one of those, it's always some eighth party
candidate you've never heard of that, right?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Mine was always Duncan Hunter. Wasn't that his name? It
would always come up him instead of of W and
I was like, I'm going for W. I was always
Duncan Hines. But take different surveys and antipation Rory always
with the final story. Thanks for the great reporting. We'll
talk again tomorrow, all right. In our final say, look,
here's the bottom line. There is, in real clear politics,
(33:21):
tremendous advantages going towards Donald Trump five of the six
swing states, and it could take some Senate races along
with it. And already the Senate looks like it's going
to be at least plus one for the Republicans. There
are no signs generically that the Democrats can take control
of the House. So I think unless there's something really
shocking on election Day one way or another, the Republican
(33:41):
can control of the House and the Senate. That to
a great degree makes the presidential election not nearly as
important as we fixate on. But it's clearly slipping away
from Kamala and fast. Let's see if we're interview with
Charlemagne the God today at five eastern on iHeart or
tomorrow with Brett Bear SI Eastern noun Fox can make
any difference and we'll be here to describe it for you.
(34:03):
We'll be back tomorrow morning, six am Eastern, five Central.
Have a great day, thanks for waking up with your
morning show.
